Amazon.com has changed it's privacy policy stating that it may sell it's database including credit card numbers. In protest, I have removed my 1-click settings and my credit card information. I don't mind them selling my name and address and email address.....but not my credit card number....that's my property, thank you! PAL, I removed my credit card too although there is no way to know if it is removed for "real." The system will not permit me to remove my email address. It insists on another. I emailed and asked that all information about me be removed and I wanted an email that stated they removed records of everything I purchased, did, etc. Then after they send me that email, they may remove my email address. The new policy varies a lot from the prior policy. One is legally entitled to have information deleted that was not to ever be sold but that is now able to be sold. Amazon has no ethics in my opinion. Particularly, management again in my opinion. I still keep wondering why Bezos needs the top floor of an entire apartment building in Manhatten. He does not even live there. He sure earned all that money by making huge returns on invested capital;-) Glenn
