Comment Personally Identifiable Information (Score 5, Interesting) 175

I don't care if anyone tracks my preferences or shopping history. What I care about is; 'Is that information "Personally Identifiable"?' In other words its not that they know what I do, its do they know, specifically, who I am.

I am all for research and marketing to tune products and advertising, but they don't need to know my name or various identifiers to do it.

I thought they determined that this was about more than shifting floor mats; that there is a legitimate problem with the software. You could experience this problem WITHOUT floormats in your car.
