That data can be used for a lot of things. Checking growth of the company by comparing how well your program does this month compared to the same month 2 years ago. Seeing trends in ratios based on tours, all sorts of stuff. The more data I have, the more succesful I can be.
But this is a good topic. I think some people are a bit hesitant about having their information inside 100 porn programs (especially with NATS software involved). Many of us would like to have a way of deleting ourselves from the database. Perhaps cancelling an account would delete the personal information (name, address, etc) and fill it in with user28482 or something. Still, most affiliate programs have no incentive to do that.
The one company I wish you could do it with is CCBill. After a few years using them, you tend to have a bunch of sponsors you no longer use or who no longer use CCBill. Just makes it a bit of a pain to see all those programs under your name if you have merged them into one account.
