512 bits is enough info to encode a unique number to identify you.
Worth alot of effort to those who want to know what you do so they can target marketing to you.
Or, alternatly, spy on you.
Literally.

Exactly how does the chip know who I am just because I walked into a drug store and bought a can of shaving cream?

I'm with DS. Even if its bytes not bit - 64 alphanumeric digits is enough to catalogue every human who has ever lived and then onto a few million more years. I've forgotten more than I ever knew at math but I'm pretty sure that 26 letters and 0-9 digits interspersed gives you a unique ID that will never "run out".

Once you're ID'd you have a space in their database.
