Bad privacy practices
I have an online account with Backcountry that I no longer use. I requested that they delete my account and personal data, as I care about my data privacy. They refused to do this because I don't live in a state with laws that require them to comply with my request. They may have no legal obligation to delete my data, but there's nothing preventing them from doing so. Companies like this that keep customer data against the will of the customer, presumably so they can use it for marketing or other business purposes, are problematic. Hopefully one day we can all benefit from laws like the GDPR or CCPA. Until then, I recommend you do not do business with Backcountry.
