<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 4686085, member: 18157&quot;]Here&#039;s a couple of interesting things I noticed today on my trip to USmint.gov...</p><p><br /></p><p>First off, I must have been ordering too slowly because I got a text pop-up offering &quot;assistance&quot;. I answered, &quot;Yes, where do I get my Promo Code?&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Lol...they actually have a box to enter a promo code...like ordering flowers. Seriously, has anyone ever seen a promo code for the U.S. Mint? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, when I hit &quot;Send&quot;, I got a message that says, &quot;No one is available at the moment, please try again later&quot;...or something to that effect. Lol...the lights are on, but nobody&#039;s home!</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, the very last box I needed to check to complete my checkout (can&#039;t complete the deal without checking this box) reads...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;By making an online purchase, you are agreeing to our <a href="https://catalog.usmint.gov/terms.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://catalog.usmint.gov/terms.html" rel="nofollow">Terms of Use</a>, you are confirming that you are at least 18 years old, <b>and you are opting-in to certain collections and uses of your personal data.</b> For more information, <b>including our authority to collect your data</b>, please see our <a href="https://catalog.usmint.gov/privacy-policy.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://catalog.usmint.gov/privacy-policy.html" rel="nofollow">Privacy Policy.</a>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Since it&#039;s a &quot;requirement&quot; to submit to anything they ask before making a purchase, I went ahead and checked the box. I&#039;m a man, so of course I didn&#039;t spend an hour reading their legalese Privacy Policy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later, after I placed my order and put my tinfoil hat back on, I began thinking... &quot;Hmmm, could this be some sort of government program to keep track of my Gold? Perhaps I should have read their Privacy Policy, after all.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
