512 bits is enough info to encode a unique number to identify you.
Worth alot of effort to those who want to know what you do so they can target marketing to you.
Or, alternatly, spy on you.
Literally.

That's enough to create a 64 character ID # (or 4 16 character #s) which can be puched into a database full of all kinds of goodies.

SS#, medical, criminal, credit card #s etc. Think about it.
