No worries, you were clear enough. My bad if my response came off as overly serious. I probably could have worded the last sentence better as an inquiry for your reasoning. I'll blame it on a leafblower outside making it hard to think clearly. :P
You referring to it as your data does give me an idea where you're coming from.
The difference is between account A clicked item B and item B was clicked. What your account has clicked would be your data, but what things have been clicked would be the company's data.
If they were using specific or personal information from your account together with the clicks to train their bot, then that would probably fall afoul of things like the GDPR or at least need to be covered in their ToS, but if they are using generic information (ie thing was clicked) then they aren't doing anything illegal and arguably aren't even being unethical as far as information usage goes.
Hope that helps answer your shower thought, now it's time for me to stop procrastinating on this site and try to actual accomplish some work for the day. :)
