> invasion of privacy

Like most, you have a naive and non-legal concept of what privacy is. Analyzing public behavior (shopping) and sending mail to your public address isn't even close to the realm of privacy.

I'm curious as to why your immediate response was to claim that I don't know anything about the legal concept of privacy.

1. This is not a court.

2. Very few of us are lawyers.

3. Nobody is talking about criminal charges or civil suits.

Who said it was about legality? Substitute "decency" for privacy if you prefer, the point is essentially the same.

There is no law that requires anyone (least of all, a corporation) to be decent.

Which is why the parent comment about legal issues is apropo. That, is what will be, and only be, considered.
