Good luck with THAT. Unless you're in a B&M store and pay cash, there's a paper trail .... or, in this case, an electronic trail.
If a retailer is ordered by the court to release a list of purchasers, in most cases, they'll follow the legal guidelines. You can't prevent them from doing so.

@suzyQ3 Thanks! I usually do give my source but just forgot this morning. I edited my post to say where I found the information.

@Tinkrbl44I fully understand what you're saying. It's this ease of retailers of all kinds being able to access my data that actually stops me from many kinds of random buying.
I also know I'm still not protected from the hackers, but I'm fatalistic. I keep track of the purchases that I still charge, change passwords on my own schedule, etc. Not much else to do.

ITA ..... I remember when I took the time to fully read a disclosure reading my medical information .... talk about a real shocker!
Depending on the circumstances, your medical and prescription information can be released to a huge number of different organizations and facilities ..... drug companies, the CDC, medical examiners, prison facilities, health care companies ... etc etc etc. It's really stunning. Nothing is private anymore.

I've already received 2 separate emails and claimant numbers...I assumed because I've ordered from multiple places. Wonder if I'll get a 3rd now...If so, I'll delete as I did the others, since I've never been harmed by the product.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but ref medical info, I once asked a nurse "what happens if I refuse to sign the privacy statement?" She said "Then we can't treat you." Whatever. I've given up worrying about any of this stuff.

I am suprised amazon lost. People are smart enough to research and join a lawsuit if they wanted too. they do not need their private information passed around

Of course no one "needs" their private information released (not "passed around").
There are good reasons this happens ..... what if you bought a new set of tires and the manufacturer later discovers that there was defective material in them?
Seems to me that if you're driving at 60 mph on the freeway and experiencing a blow out that could have been avoided, you would WANT to be notified of the problem. In instances like this, "privacy" is a secondary concern.

I'm obviously in the tiny minority here because I just can't get too riled up about most privacy issues.
