When I buy something from a website, I generally don't want my credit card details to be automatically stored in the company's database unless I give explicit permission. However, many websites have implicit permission written into their t&c's. Their only rationale seems to be that many people find card storage "convenient", but I still don't understand why it's in their interest to take control away from the customer.
If implicit permission is given in the t&c's, the only way to take back control is to visit the account page every time you shop, and manually delete the card details. This is something that I do because a) I don't trust them to keep my card details safe, b) I use most websites very occasionally so don't appreciate the "convenience" of auto-storage and c) it's my data not theirs so I want control over it.
Am I alone in this or does it bug you too?
