A company asking for a zip code is just another tool they use to better understand and target their customer. Do you believe that companies should be allowed to ask for zip codes or do you think it should be considered personal information and why?
I don't consider zip codes as being personal information because it is just broad location where you live. A zip code is probably information a company can use to see what areas are buying their products. This might help the company out to maybe set up warehouses in that area to cut down shipping costs. I think it way more personal if they asked you for your address because they can sent you mail there and they know exactly where you live. I agree with Colin in that I never considered my zip code to be personal information.
What do you think about zip codes being personal information?
