Just to get the point across, I'd change that to:

CC numbers are, after all, part of the order history, and they have been
reported as one of the "assets" that Amazon.com has considered selling.
(Disclaimer/loophole: of course, technically they do have to send CC
numbers to other organizations for processing. If customers raised a
big stink about this, confused between this lending of CC numbers and
sharing CC numbers with parties who charge for stuff you didn't buy,
then forced Amazon to stop as a result...no more Amazon.)
