[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 26898, member: 2211"] Because, thanks to the Privacy Act, we have no more privacy...Big Brother is here and he's paying attention...he knows all and records it and gives it to places like Walmart. I wish I were kidding. You know when you're checking out and the cashier asks you for your Zip or Phone number? It's for a couple of different reasons. The first one is to track you and your spending habits. The other is so they know where to build their next store. They record your personal data. Ever notice how now when you return something to a store, they no longer need your originally used credit card to credit your account - nope. They just bring up all your original data, including the credit card you used, by waving the wand over your receipt. Every time you use a credit card or make an online purchase that information is being recorded and shared with other company's databases. [/QUOTE]
