It's creepy for companies to keep track of what you buy? How do you think your Amazon order history works?




To track it? Maybe, maybe not, depends on what the conpany is, how the purchases are made, etc.

To analyze it to infer personal information? Starting to be creepy, even in the cases where tracking it isn’t.

And then use the inferred information for marketing explicitly and overtly around the inference? Definitely getting creepier.
