Re: Aren't we becoming too sensitive to everything???

You didn't think that one day you may apply for a job abroad, once the data has been collected by a company it may end up anywhere in the world, so the data you entered while you were in Brazil might be used somewhere else and the impact might be different.

But the real point is that this information tells absolutely nothing about your skills, there is no point in collecting such data other than profiling people beyond the scope of the advertised job.
