After last year registering at the Wizkids Store, I bought the Strahd sets (and not knowing yet, missed out by a few days on the Yeti Tykes, damn).
Now, oddly the site does not accept Paypal, just bank accounts, so I managed to pay with my card.
When not long afterwards, the specifically made for D&D store page of Wizkids, DNDMinis appeared, I could only make it work on my phone/tablet. I tried checking shipping, and here comes the weird thing...
I suddenly got an SMS on my phone about my shop code the store was asking for, as soon as I provided my email address...
Now that used BlueStacks (a great program for emulating Android on PC) to try and order stuff from the store today, I found that again, even before I registered at DNDminis, it somehow "knew" it was me there, and not only did it send a code for my phone to proceed, it then somehow knew my card number and offered it already for me to pay... Luckily that card has expired already, but still!
I am very (justifiedly) careful about where I leave my card number or code, mostly if I can, I don't - it's why I prefer Paypal, and I even delete my card details from Amazon after a purchase. For a time I even used Revolut but it was just too costly. Anyhow, after investigating the web address it turns out I somehow got registered on https://shop.app/ by registering on the Wizkids store, and since the DNDMinis store is also "powered" by this app/site, it automatically recognizes me.
Nothing malicious, sure, but I generally like to know where I register, and what details and personal data said site can keep about me. I did register at Wizkids Store, and I am fine with them having my email and address and phone number. I am NOT fine with some random app I know nothing about having the same data, and my card number on top of that. Now I deleted my card from it, but there is no way apparently to un-register from this place... and I don't know if this app is needed for me to use DNDMinis?
If anyone has more experience on this, please share.
