This always reminds me of the anecdote of Target predicting pregnant customers and "outing" them before they or their family knows [1].
Really makes one consider using cash.

- slg 5y ago>before they or their family knows To be clear, it is before their family knows and not before they know. It is extremely difficult to figure out someone is pregnant before they know. It doesn't take any complex analysis to see someone purchasing prenatal vitamins and conclude they are pregnant.
