I can't always get what I want in Utah so I shop online and it wasn't until hubby had lunch with a security expert from Zions bank that I took a good long look at how much of my credit card information was dotted around the web. Being proactive - I set about removing it, if I'm shopping on a new site I shop as a guest but it seems that more and more sites let you put your credit card information in and then won't let you proceed with the order until you register with them. Drugstore.com is one such example, I suppose the reasoning is - oh I got all this way - all my information is there I'll be able to go back next time and just one click everything. These aren't websites there are on-line store fronts.
Can you imagine walking into a bricks and mortar store and getting all the way to the checkout before they tell you 'sorry you can't buy this item until you hand over all your personal data to us for us to keep'. Oh and for future reference CVS.com lets you shop as a guest, I'll be using them again.
