I get that data breaches are their own class of problem, but I do find it ironic that people gave their contact/sales info to a company headquartered in Shenzen and have any expectation of data protection/privacy.

Because American companies definitely don’t sell your data.

"The name, contact number, email and shipping address within certain orders may have been exposed." I really hate that most companies force me to give a phone number when I buy something. Why do they need it? Why forcing? I usually end up giving a fake one.

I believe small vendors need it to verify that you really are the owner of the CC (it's a requirement of the processor).

When I opened the link, I was hit with a modal for a raffle. I understand that it's the site's normal behavior and there's no way to single out a single thread (probably), but readers of this thread probably don't want to hand over data for a raffle.
