...or, more to the point, is your computer (where your part of the transaction takes place) to be considered a public place?
Did Target ask if they can retain your shopping practices for unspecified purposes? Did they tell you that by combining that with your credit card information they now have marketable data specific to you and they will store (and potentially resell) that?
Target's web site is most certainly a public place, but it is reasonable to expect that the individual transactions between you and target are not public.
