Or websites that use Shop as a payment provider.

Some of them automatically sign you up with a Shop account. You can opt out, but you have to notice the tiny check box with the fine print that says “sign me up for a Shop account” that’s checked by default.

If you click “pay now” before unchecking that box, they send all your personal information including name, address, email, phone number, and debit card information to their third-party payment provider who then stores it, likely permanently, with no clear option for account deletion.

And now whenever I check out on a website that integrates with Shop, even if they don’t do that scummy trick to try to sign you up with them, as soon as I enter my email address it sends a confirmation code to my phone trying to auto-fill my payment info. It’s so fucking annoying.
