You put your finger on it Resonate, all the "free services" are used mainly to collect info about us to use in targeted marketing like they are offering now.
In their small prints (which 99% of people never reads) they do warn you that they may use the info you provide them for marketing purposes etc etc so you have sort of given your consent for them to use your data the way they are using it.
