I'm not arguing with any of this, merely pointing out that if you live near a grocery store and want to save money, you're likely to get some sort of loyalty card (for the longest time, I used one I found in the parking lot, happily racking up rewards for a total stranger).
I'm also arguing that any data that can be collected will be collected and the responsibility for proper treatment of data that can be mined comes down to legislation and vendor practice, not the consumer. It's far too easy to hide implications and effects from the consumer and they're far too easy to bribe.
