[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2311712, member: 5151"] Actually, the mail order, talk radio, and TV cards have clauses where you grant your consent to share that data, which makes it *not* a HIPAA violation. On the pick-it-up-at-the-counter cards, when the card is run there is some accounting of what orders the card was used. Typically, using the card has the same type of implied agreement of using a website - by merely using it you are agreeing to whatever terms the card is bound by, subject to change and likely without notification. You don't have to read the terms to be considered a party to the agreement, and you likely don't even have to see the terms (see: software - removing the shrinkwrap on a retail package or opening a downloadable is agreement to the terms contained within the package). I'm skeptical of the cards because I know how they work. I've worked on processing systems for them. I also work with a ton of data on a regular basis and understand how what can seem anonymous by itself really isn't close to anonymous at all. As for O'reilly Auto - credit card, check, signing the receipt, and timestamped surveillance... all for that fine occasion where the accounting department finds that a particular account is costing them an abnormal amount of money (it happens).
