How are these websites getting my address?

Asked by Moonaa (134points) March 29th, 2013

I’ve had several websites send me advertisements in the mail recently.

Like Victoria’s Secret. I’ve never bought anything from there yet, but I looked at their swimsuits online a few times. And today they sent me a catalog of their swimsuits. I never gave them my name or address.

Or this website for a store called “Body Central”. My friend said they were getting a store where she lives in another state.
I’d never heard of it, so I looked it up ONCE and now they send me catalogs. I didn’t even buy anything.

So where are they getting my address? For someone with extreme paranoia and anxiety I can’t stand it.

I even got in trouble with my parents because of it. I’m 17, but they’re really conservative and old and they were shocked that I got a Victoria’s Secret catalog.
