>How it works...When you make a store purchase with a credit card saved in your account (with a matching name and card number), you’ll see it appear in your purchase history. You may already see store purchases from the last 12 months.

Dayum. That's a lot of beer.

A great general rule of thumb to go by.

Do you NEED an account with them for some reason?

Fuck their 5% off for card member discounts. That is a call to track every item you buy into a giant database to sell off at their leisure to make additional money off of you.

Start spending cash. Cash is untraceable.

Your card company loves you to always use the card also. Same reason as the store wants you to make the acct for some BS % off shit.

To store and track every purchase you make.

They Never delete this data.

If you think you need an acct, or want the acct to get the savings which would matter to you. Ask yourself is there an alternate method?

Case in point - long ago gf, got new #, i still use her old # for grocery stores, she doesn't have it anymore. We've lost touch. It still works. Why do I need a new #? I still get the discount by entering that phone #.

I've gone back to cash to stop this shit.

I went to the website to check the specs on an online purchase from last November, and I had to scroll past every in-store purchase over the last two months.

They don't need to see my receipt.

You should see how many pages are in the average legal file dump for a walmart case. Before the attys screen them and cross screen...

e-disc companies process (one specific. I will not name. still have friends who are there) in the neighborhood of 1M pages for each case, with often an additional several hundred thousand thrown in for good measure after in additional findings.

the scrubs of collected hard disks (forensic clone allowing wally to keep his original, in most cases) then its dumped out to files, everything OS and program related (known hash verified program files, like adobe reader, ms excel... general office garbage), then all documents are OCRd & turned into a PDF, to be seen in an online viewer. (incompat stuff like xcel is shown native)

mostly, it will be an attys asst, sorting through the massive pile of shit. using the ocr and flagging shit for an atty to view or not.

No idea why i went into that old rabbit hole for this...

OH yeah!! Databases - - you should see the massive databases that have been collected. its in the petabytes...

I am so glad I got out of that industry.

I know a bunch of info is getting stored, but I just choose not to think about it.

And to have it manifested right before my eyes is causing some deep thinking...
