What personal data would you volunteer to online retailers?


Is there some non-sensitive personal data that you don't mind sharing with online retailers, if it means they're able to better personalize your site experience (e.g. by giving you more relevant product recommendations)?

If so, which data points do you think would be most broadly useful for enhancing your online shopping experience on a variety of retail sites?

Can you help me understand what the upside is for me?

Let's say I tell you I am a man. How are you proposing to "enhance my online shopping experience"?

Since this is "online shopping" I probably came to your site with specific products or types of products in mind. Are you proposing to offer me "man based" shipping options?
