You take our card details for our transactions...then perform profiling on us...then lose it? It's unacceptable. It's puts the public completely at risk to all manor of attacks, especially "directed spam", fraud and all sorts. Companies who take sensitive data about us must be held responsible for it's safety.

    There's no excuse encryption can't be used to protect our details and special priority should definitely be paid to laptops since they are so "losable".
