No one you just mentioned is providing any service to me whatsoever. That's not a 1:1 example. Also, these places have removed traditional ways of doing business with them, in some locations. So, how do you get around that without limiting yourself or simply denying yourself? I'm speaking practically.
I'm not happy about the privacy issues. I'm just not sure I'd let them win over my other needs/wants.
You just don't do business with them. It's that easy. Unless you live in some tiny town with ONLY a McDonald's, there are a million identical options where you can order without any app and talk directly to a human.

Let's stick with McDonalds then. Please state who has access to your collected name, email accounts, mailing address, GPS location, social media accounts, and credit card numbers.
Then please state which companies McDonalds has purchased the same information from, and sold that information to, as stated in the privacy page.
