Yep ... even your local grocery store is collecting data on what you purchase and when ... unless you use cash.
So ... I understand your wish to keep your data private, I just wonder if you have any idea exactly how many companies are mining it for their use??

wow youre right! i should just forfeit my right to privacy regarding my browsing habits and subject myself to targeted advertising in the name of consumerism. ps, i have never once received junk mail from my grocery store. they track inventory no matter the payment method, and marketing is not their BUSINESS PLAN. maybe youre right about the MR thing though.
