If I'm not your customer, you don't need any information on me.

If I am your customer, I will decide what information is relevant.

Unimportant, the important part is it's only a segment of data which makes it worse than useless, it makes it dangerous as it can make you think you have valid data.

Zero-party data, as Forrester defines it, is data that a customer "intentionally and proactively shares with a brand." Contrast this with third-party data, which is data collected from external sources, often without the customer's knowledge or explicit consent.
