Almost everyone sells your purchase history to everyone, including to Google.
- TYPE_FASTER 6y agoYes. Unless you pay in person with cash, your purchase data will be brokered.
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoI still want a way to pay with "cash" over the internet, e.g. a prepaid card which I can buy with cash and isn't tied to any person's name or address.
- Tempest1981 6y agoThat would be cool for donations too. I often would like to compensate software devs or content creators, but I hate having to create an account and/or share credit card info. I think someone mentioned "burner" cards a while back.
- csunbird 6y agoBut you still need stuff to be delivered, which means they have your name and address, along with contact information, which can be used to match your purchase history,
- glaucon 6y agoIf I was Amazon I wouldn't be selling purchase history to Google. Why would I ? I have no need of the money and Google is one of the few entities that present a visible threat to my well being.
- three_seagrass 6y agoAmazon, like every other retail service, has reciprocity agreements with payers (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, etc.) Amazon gives up your purchase history to get it from everyone else, for that sweet product retargeting.
