Royalty, members card

Like nectar at Sainsburys; it's insidious. Just sell the goods at the lowest price possible for all; customers will flock and that is your data collection.
 
I think of loyalty cards like two transactions:
- transaction 1 is you buying stuff for money
- transaction 2 is you selling data for money

then consider the transactions in isolation:
- transaction 1: you would buy stuff for money
- transaction 2: you would not go into a shop that buys your data without doing anything else, you know that because such shops don't exist

so why would you do transaction 2 just because transaction 1 is also involved?

Are you really sure you can't understand why someone would want to get a 1L bottle of Baileys for £10 instead of £23.
 
You're missing my point.

You aren't buying Baileys for 10

You are:
- buying Baileys for 23
- selling personal data for 13

here's 13 quid give me all your personal data...

You are selling your shopping data.

The agreement you sign up for is to have your shopping behaviour, device details, location analysed and sold.

In the bundle of data being collected, you would be [age band] in [location/s] who buys [products] using [device/card] and does so [frequently/infrequently]. Something like that.

Your personal data is held by Nectar for sending you generic or targeted marketing based on behaviour or purchases, there's no agreement to sell your personal data.
 
To be fair the Co-Op members card is the best £1 you can spend in the store. I also like that with my Nectar card they tailor the deals to my shopping habbits.

I've got bigger things to worry about than someone seeing my unhealthy addiction to Kellogg's Crunchy Nut.

Ah but Aldi's crunchy nut is just as good and cheaper too.
 
but really - could life get any better ?

assume they've got us right here even without the royalty card - cctv tracked around the shop and linked with the debit card,
using relation royalty cards anyway, ironically the only card I have personally is from the royal supermarket, but it doesn't provide benefits anymore,
maybe charles gets a reduction though for his patronage,
should probably dump the card , you never know you could be singled out in a terrorist hostage situation
