Always carry extra cash everyday to pay at stores, never have debit/credit card in wallet unless it’s to withdraw more cash, never give stores your number or name to buy or reurn something, do not give legitimate info to register for a free store card, never register for a tap pay service on cellphone, buy a pre-paid credit card if you can buy it anonymously with cash, for Americans, use privacy.com for card masking.
If you exclusively use physical cash with change at stores and never give a name, there’s no behaviour prediction to get from you or how to advertise to you. Online purchases are not as good for data mining and tracking because there’s no geo location like paying with a card at a store that can be used to track your movements and at what time you were there.

I tried to sign up but they required my picture holding my ID. Even my bank doesn’t require that. I was not OK with that obviously.
To me it is just shifting trust from 1 entity to another like VPNs
Who is they?
Oh yeah, I was replying to a post that mentioned privacy.com - that is who, I meant, asked me for my ID to be able to sign up for their service
Specify who you are referancing.
privacy.com ask for picture of ID to sign up
