We Knew This Would Happen When We Signed Up Grocery stores are turning your shopping habits over to the FBI so that they can use the information to further their knowledge of how you live your life. I remember commenting on this type of situation when I signed up for my King Soopers and Safeway cards a few years back. It's one thing to use the information to effectively market new products to me. It's quite another to tell the FBI when I'm dieting, how many condoms I'm buying, what brand of cheese I eat, etc. My plan now is to see about getting new cards with a bunch of bogus information filled in. If you don't have to use the card for some sort of check cashing priviliedges, I encourage you to do the same. Here is the feedback that I sent to Kroger. Regarding the privacy of Kroger's database of customer purchasing habits. In a story by Fox News today (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,59262,00.html), it is reported that a major grocery chain voluntarily turned over database information to the FBI following the events of September 11. In the story, Safeway clearly denies that it was their chain. As a (very minor) shareholder, and frequent shopper at King Soopers, I am interested to know whether you are willing to similarly deny that my information along with that of millions of other shoppers was turned over to the FBI. A clear explanation of how, when, under what circumstances, and with whom you share information contained in or garnered from the database would also be appreciated. I will let you know what sort of response I get. |
