Only if you is part of their loyalty program.

  ...or if you shop with a credit or debit card, or if you typically carry the same mobile phone with you most times you shop, or if you often purchase prescription medicine there, or if they ever get that facial-recognition cluster to work... this can be based on any somewhat durable identifier.

    But they aren't selling it to the best of my knowledge.

      Why not? It isn't because they don't like money. If they aren't selling such data (which is not clearly the case) it's because they judge that they can put it to more valuable use themselves.

        I don't think they are allowed to sell it. They are however allowed to use it.

          But they are allowed to sell data based on loyalty programs? That would be a weird regulation.

            That actually make more sense since you consent to a bunch of things. But I don't even think they do that. As I said they use it internally instead (for what to order etc) they aren't allowed to send your data and your purchasing patterns to 3rd party.
