Seven reasons why we just infoxicados:

  1. Collect more information than necessary to support competition, and our reasons for making decisions.
  2. We received a large amount of information that we have not requested nor is useful to us.
  3. We seek more information than necessary to try to verify that you have is correct.
  4. We need to show our justification of decisions.
  5. We collect information if it could be useful in the future.
  6. It's going to play it safe and try to get all possible information about a topic.
  7. We like to use information as a bargaining chip to keep up on our colleagues.
