[QUOTE="Mos Eisley, post: 3081018, member: 7235"] This is the same with mobile phone companies, at least the one I work for. People get bent out of shape about them selling their "info". For legal reasons they choose not to sell Personally Identifiable Information. They sell de-identified data. We have to take a class once a year about safeguarding PII. I put on here before about how Apple was working on a new thing with certain companies. For example, Home Depot. They will know to the inch exactly where you are in their store and how long you're standing in front of say, the cordless drills. Apple will then send you a coupon through your phone for a certain drill. It's kinda creepy but they don't really know, or care, who you are. They just know one of their phones spent X amount of time at a certain coordinate and they send that phone a coupon. [/QUOTE]
