    Everyone tracks everything. All these reward programs on credit cards, they track everything you buy. They noticed that young men that buy diapers also bought beer. Opportunity knocks. They located the diapers by the beer and sales went up.

    They say your car will start to track you as we move forward. Wouldn't it be neat to get an ad from the coffee shop you are driving by that they are running and sale. They start advertising to me in MY car and I will find the antenna and vapourize it.

    Where we buy our groceries they have this advantage card (their Name) and you get what they call fuel perks at their gas pumps. We have gotten as much as 3 + dollars off a gallom, but by using this card they track what you have bought and use the stats to know what sells and what does not. I have no problems with that.

    I think the issue is we can all rationalize everything if we see a benefit. Pay me and its okay.

    I'm the same, I have a Cash Back credit card so everything goes on it.

    As big data gets bigger and they connect the dots it all helps paint a picture of us.

    Ever ask any store for their Privacy policy?
