There is such a thing as ethical data sharing/selling, but it starts with process transparency.
When DarkSky was first released, it needed crowdsourced altitude and barometric readings to provide the accurate weather data. The anonymized data map was provided to Stanford University, who used it to identify micro-tremors and other tectonic activity. It was clearly outlined in the EULA.

I miss Dark Sky.
Carrot is nice, but I’m not paying yearly for weather.
