I’m: not comfortable with merchants knowing what I purchase.
The merchants have a right to know what they sell; it is the same data. You can (and should) always pay cash anyway. Then they know what is sold, but not to whom.
They can know what they sell. I just don’t think the default should let them know who they sell to.

HIPAA violation
No, I don't think it would be. The last four digits of a CC purchase at a pharmacy won't contain PHI. It will just say "pharmacy." But if you have some data to back that claim up, I'd love to read about it.
They probably have records for each individual (not just last four digits of CC); I don't think it's hipaa violation as long as the records don't contain personally identifying information.

Nope, it’s not like A/B testing a button color on an ad; it’s medical history
You can anonymize data. If it's not able to identify the real person, it's allowed.
Data which can be tied back to someone's purchase history is by definition not anonymized

#95> An increasing number of CEOs and investors are talking about how popular weight-loss drugs might change the economy and business. Earlier this week, the CEO of the maker of Pringles and Cheez-Its said the company is studying their potential impact on dietary behaviors. “Like everything that potentially impacts our business, we’ll look at it, study it and, if necessary, mitigate,” Steve Cahillane, the CEO of Kellano…
Want dark? NEVER EAT PRINGLES/DEHYDRATED POTATES (mashed etc).
Sorry for the caps but its deserved.
Dehydrated potatoes aren't graded. Read on for gross information.
I recently had the pleasure of doing HVAC/controls for potato/onion storages in Washington state.
Some storages are so gross I couldn't believe it was legal. Dead and living animals/rodents and nests etc. Mold and bacteria, rancid water pools, truly disgusting. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the videos I took. Some of the climacell water tanks (some the size of pools) hadnt been cleaned in years and had so many dead frogs and whatnot they were literally bubbling cesspools. And had been running that 'water' over the climacell pads to then be blown all over the storage, products, and people working in them.
And that wasn't the bad part.
The bad part was seeing piles of rotted and disintegrating potatoes go to dehydration machines to become pringles, dehydrated mashed potatoes, etc. They don't throw away the piles that go bad. They let them sit and stew until they've a full load and truck em out.
The trucks would literally have black horrible smelling slime spilling out all sides of the trailer, the weighing station was beyond disgusting.
Sure, heat will kill the bacteria, mold, fungi etc, and they will all be bleached- but once you've seen it, it's life changing. I shop mostly at farmers markets now for my veggies/fruits. After seeing potato and onion storages, processing plants and whatnot, the things foos companies can legally do is fucking frightening. I used to love Pringles.

"Mitigate" could mean "make a product that is appealing to health-conscious consumers".
It could. In the same way that when fossil fuel companies found out their business is destroying the planet they could have pivoted into renewables. But they didn’t.
With profit being the deciding factor it’s anyone’s guess what the people who are in charge of these companies will do to avoid bankruptcy.
