iron mike, for the most part the information is already retained and then some, so it is not about the retention, it is about who has access and under what circumstances.


For example, yesterday I signed up with Woolworths for online shopping and placed my first order. As I was finalising my order a pop up was displayed saying that I normally purchase these other items. What the? This was my first order, so how did they know what I normally purchase?

As it turns out it was by using a rewards card with Woolworths that a record of my shopping purchases and habits is retained.
