I am a rewards member, have an online account, but don't want their app, so I can't get their digital discounts. I can get the discounts for the rewards members, shown in the aisles, though.
It's crazy and wrong. Why do they super incentivize app downloading? To see all the other apps you have to sell that information for ad and deanonymizing reasons.
Companies know its you with high certainty when you are the only person with that set of 89 apps. Two companies with that same information confirmed through a broker can now deanonymize you and sell you as a name, then, without compromising what they told you about the data they collected from their app, because, even though you gave them a name, they recreated your name from 3rd party source, and can do whatever they want with that, now.
I shop at Fry’s (Kroger). I go online with a desktop comp and click on the digital coupons before shopping.
