Renting, exchanging, and contributing customer mailing lists to third-party data networks is legal, widely practiced, and disclosed in the fine print of most retailers' privacy policies. The practical consequence is that a catalog request or purchase with a motorcycle-gear retailer introduces a mailing address into a commercial data infrastructure that operates well beyond the original retail relationship — and keeps operating long after the catalog subscription is forgotten.</p>
