The Super X Credit Corporation is one of the industry leader

The Super X Credit Corporation is one of the industry leaders in credit card processing systems. They are known for being at the forefront of advances in technology, and offering some of the lowest prices for their services. However, Super X has designed their programs to secretly track customer data based upon the transactions their system handles, and in turn uses that data in a joint venture with Wesley Marketing to offer other products and services to these customers. Both Super X and Wesley believe they are doing nothing wrong as they are simply using the information collected to help customers get better deals, and do not share personal information about customers outside of the company.

Do you think Super X’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?

Solution

I do believe Super X Credit Corporation is acting unethical because even though they are not breaking any law and actually there are many companies who are doing the same thing but them never ask permission to their customer to send offers based on their purchase history.

In theory they are not sharing personal information with anyone but this is a risk because if someone hacks their server they would have access to personal information of their customers and could be used to commit a crime.
