Online shopping privacy guilt.

Am I partaking in guilt or pleasure when it comes to construeonline offers? Well reading the article "61% of Online Shoppers Would Trade Privacy for Personalization [INFOGRAPHIC]from Mashable.com has brought to my attention the affects and effects to being an online consumer.

I'm currently an addict for online shopping ever since moving to ChicagoOnline shopping provides convenience. My current favorite online store is eBay, since being a regular customer, eBay has been notifying me with daily deals and suggestions for my next purchaseAlthough, it's gotten to the point where its getting annoying yet appealing at the same time. My shopping privacy seems to be invaded on an obnoxious level. On the other hand, I can tolerate the obnoxiousness due to the article. I agreed with most of the reasons that were pointed in the article and therefor I'm guilty on having personalization rather than privacy. The bottom line with personalization is simply to say that as an online consumer, I have basic terms in which a business deal should accommodate to in trade-off for my personal information.
