The tracking isn't exactly a revelation--same deal for using every scrap of customer data for marketing.

If I go into a store and pay for something with cash (and the store is a major chain), invariably I get an added part on the register receipt wanting me to participate in a store survey. The opinion site usually have a web alternative, but they want a phone number "so that we can notify you if you win". Feels heavily like a form of customer profile creation / data mining to me.
