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?
Yes, I think that zip codes are considered personal information because it allows companies to send advertisements and catalogs to the geographical area that you live in. Though this benefits the company by the ability to track sales and target certain geographical areas, it violates the customer's privacy. Customers should not have to give thier zip codes, but should have the option in case they do want to receive advertisements and catalogs from the companies in question.
