They don't need most of the date, they need a statistically significant sample to have a high confidence in the result. And that's a small percentage of the total population.

And you could have something on file where you opt in to such things, just like you can opt in to being an organ donor. Maybe make it opt out if numbers are important. But it cannot be publicly available without a way to say no.
