Well, potentially a lot, specially when sold for crossing data with other sources. I worked in a place willing to lose millions of dollars a month, without profit, hoping that eventually in 1 or 2 years the few bits of personal info they were capturing could be sold.

Also worked on another place that aggregated all public info available for everyone and allowed with 2 clicks understand many things about a person and all their family for example.
