I was referring to this:

> when you go shopping and pay with cash in a store with no surveillance, your shopping habits are being shared against your wishes with a random third party

Retail stores also use your shopping data to target you with ads. Credit cards also obviously sell your purchase data to anyone willing to pay for it. I wouldn't be surprised if retail stores even sell your cash purchase data to any third party willing to pay for it.
