What would be a more privacy respecting service instead of Amazon?
I mean Amazon is a hard service to switch from.
Nearly everything you need is available to order from there. Now of course whatever is the next best thing can still get your address and name (unless you use an alt name and address) but I’m talking about apps or services that have better privacy polices regarding storing personal information.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think my approach is fairly common:
- Do research on Amazon, find products, companies I want
- Leave Amazon, go directly to the company and buy it from them directly.
For example, last week I looked for a kit to grow micro-greens at home. Found one I liked, left the evil awful, bought it from the maker on their own web site. Repeat as often as you need.
Not a terrible idea, at least company xyz won’t see what you bought from the other company’s and therefore prevents them sharing much of your data to Ad services.
Also most have their own logistics that is just as fast as amazons (cuz they need to since they sell on Amazon)
Don’t Amazon stock some things in their own warehouse?
Buying with cash is useful, or else someone is still selling your purchase patterns.
And turn your phone off before you go in the store.
And don't forget a wearable faraday cage ($39.99 @ amazon.com)!
Only issue is that you pay a higher price plus shipping, likely, from the manufacturer.
