I guess you can count K-mart and Lands End in the same category, right?
Truthfully, what site doesn't procure data from it's users anymore?

It's one thing to procure data for just the website. It's another to basically run something on your system in the background and grab basically "ALL".
Most websites procure things from server side. This on the other hand actually installs basically what would be considered spyware, and dumps everything.
So basically EVERYTHING you do is pretty much recorded.
