This is where they went wrong, as unfortunate as it is. Aside from the massive amount of third party analytics and tracking and so on, there's many more out-of-band ways that others will find out about what they did, for example by purchasing credit card transaction history (Google, many other institutions), reading and automatically parsing your receipts sent via email (Google), making generalizations about your Internet activity (phone/Internet provider) and many others.
- Scoundreller 6y ago> reading and automatically parsing your receipts sent via email (Google) I love it when companies exclude this info from email and make me log in to see the details, but then run a bunch of trackers themselves. I wonder if the tracking companies pay more if you exclude the info from emails, which I generally find annoying.

- Silhouette 6y agoIt's disturbing that it's even legal for essential services like paying for things and receiving messages to be intercepted and data mined for entirely different purposes by arbitrary third parties. (I assume this is in the context of somewhere like the USA, because it would very clearly not be legal under privacy laws in places like Europe.)
