Unfortunately many credit card companies and for-profit banks will merrily sell/share your personal data unless you opt-out, but the more responsible ones have at least added sections to their online account portal that tell you about it and make it easy to opt-out (Chase is a rare positive-ish example). Unfortunately Discover buries that information in their Privacy Statement and makes you call 1-800-225-5202 to opt-out. They're clearly hoping people won't read the statement and won't opt-out, which is a sad and disappointingly anti-customer approach for them to take. Aside from them, I definitely recommend checking the privacy policies for all of your financial institutions and finding out how to opt-out of data sharing if possible.
