GDPR and shopping options

Sir, – If I purchase goods in person from some of the big retail outlets, I am not asked for any personal information such as name, postal address, email address and phone number.

Yet if I attempt to purchase the same goods from the same outlets online, I cannot do so unless I give these personal details.

So much for GDPR. – Yours, etc,
