    There is a valid reason. It’s easier. You don’t need to get a person to watch/count/analyse the inventory.

        Yeah I think you’re just paranoid. Maybe you need to understand how this works better before making a snap judgement. No personally identifying pictures are stored. What’s wrong with a bit of market research? Knowing which (estimated) gender buys what is not that big a deal.

        Y’all can downvote me and argue till the cows come home, but y’all are just paranoid. I see nothing wrong with this.
