CASPIAN: Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering URL: http://www.nocards.org/ Description: An organization staunchly opposed to supermarket "loyalty" or frequent shopper cards, contending that stores benefit from them more than consumers do. In addition to its own editorials and action alerts, the consumer group compiles Web links and articles from other media sources. A supermarket list details the shopper registration and monitoring practices of chain and independent grocery stores, and notes ownership (conglomerate and subsidiary) information.
