Yea. But the paper trail argument is a good one. Banks holding minutely detailed info of your purchase history. A PII goldmine waiting to be exploited.

If you pay in cash they don't (not as PII anyway), unless you scan your loyalty card or they have facial recognition running on their cams.

The same amount of PII is on file for your account regardless of your transactions.

If you only extract once a week from an ATM and pay in cash? No way.

I think you sre confusing "PII" and "data." The transaction does not identify you (generally), the ID on file for the account identifies you.
