Dark pattern abuse at its finest. You find this on all third party webstores that have decided to affiliate themselves with Shop. This has been spreading like the plague and infected a lot of webstores I used to use. If you don’t notice or forget to click on the “not now” at the bottom of the page they will create a Shop account that contains your email, phone number and credit card information without further warning. Whoever hacks into their database is going to hit a goldmine. You might have a Shop account without even realizing it right now.
And of course there is a 30 day delay for account deletion for purely made up reasons.


Definitely not. But who has the time and money to file a lawsuit over this? What kind of payout can you even expect for the tort of creating an account you didn’t ask for? That’s why they keep getting away with crap like that.
