My son is the internet marketing manager for a grocery chain.

When you signup for the store cards you can get individualized discounts for products you prefer. Good news.

However they are tracking the date, items purchased, cash back, and everything about your purchases.

If the NSA can hack in they can access the info.

FWIW

I advise people to do what I do: invent a fake persona, fake name, age, address phone number, everything and use that for every dumb thing that requires this kind of info. Now, for a lot of things like these supermarket club cards, even that is unnecessary. Safeway gave me a card with a form to fill out for all my personal info. I took the card, chucked the form, and every time I scan the card it comes up "unidentified customer", but it still works. Heh. However, other things want personal info and you might have to remember what bs you told them later, hence the fake persona. Never give out your real info.
