    Yes, most retailers do. The issue would be if they gave out any identifying data.

    It depends on who they are telling and how much personal detail. To say a customer bought xy or z but not name you for instance. What exactly is the issue?

    Is there much truth to that?surely they must inform their customer what they intend to do before capturing informatiob

    I've never been asked for ID when buying such products.

    How would they know who you are if you pay in cash.

    That's my question,I don't think foggys statement is true,from an ethical and legal point
    Most shops who capture info is for Warrenty info

    may be so but never happens.......names and addresses are captured for warranty info and makes it easy to find details when customers lose receipts, thats whats happens where i work anyway
