Why your privacy rights are important Companies sometimes need your personal information for business purposes—for example, to bill you and ship your order. The personal information you provide for one reason, however, may also be used for other purposes, and a lot of information about you and your household can be collected without your knowledge, from you (directly or indirectly) or from other sources. Your information may be used to create a personal profile that helps advertisers target you with ads. This can result in unwelcome, and even unfair, messaging and offers.
