Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Your online purchasing history being sold to other merchants without your consent is a violation of your online privacy as it involves the unauthorized sharing of your personal data. A hacker reading your email or altering it would also be a violation, but B specifically refers to the sharing of data without consent.
