Thank you for your answer, I appreciate it. Insurance related concerns sounds serious. I couldn’t think of that.
Some extra things that should be easy to infer: on what dates were you going to a party; on what dates you had a hangover; when did you go on a diet and how good were you at sticking to it; if you have a problem with alcohol, when did it start and how it progress; are you dating someone; are you planning to travel. I could go on and on - all those things can be identified if you have a continuous record of a regular customer's purchases. And there are many companies, organizations and individuals that would make good use of such inferences - use of the kind you wouldn't want to be subject to.
