...that you can't stop

Don't buy a new car. That's one down.

If you don’t want to click:

1. Your car.
2. Your stores (loyalty cards).
3. Your ISP.

I’m thinking... Duh.

Can automobile black boxes be removed or disabled and still be able to operate the car?

And, aside from using fake information - which some people do - or shopping at the farmer's market, there isn't anything you can do about it.

I agree with her that this is an invasion of privacy, but her advice on avoiding it is faulty. OTOH, fake info doesn't work unless you're very very disciplined about never using a debit or credit card on purchases with that "fake" info. The instant you do, all the history acquired with that card can now be attached to you. But...on the other hand, it's not nearly as universal as she makes it out to be. Among mainline stores, Albertsons doesn't do this (they did but stopped). Wal-Mart doesn't have it, Trader-Joe's doesn't have it, and probably some more that I'm not aware of. Plus just avoiding any cards isn't enough. Even without a card, they can build the same virtual profile if you pay with credit or debit. Just pay cash, and patronize stores that don't try to foist a card on your and you're good.

Can’t stop? Well, idunno....

1. Your car: Mine is a 2004, don’t think that will be a problem.

2. Loyalty cards: Over a year ago I switched to 100% cash for local buying. I do have a debit card and use it only for online purchases.

3. Your ISP. Maybe. Although I haven’t read my ISP’s name in any of the articles about this.

FWIW, buying with cash only sure simplifies balancing the checkbook.
