If you use Google than they track your emails, your web history, and they datamine everything to sell you ads.

If you buy an app from the Google Play store, Google sends your full name, email, and neighborhood to the developer.
I believe it's similar with the App Store

Online Shopping (aside from Google's datamining) is up to the company if they sell it or not.

TL;DR lots of things you do on your computer are trackable, so if you're trying to buy something secretly don't underestimate anything.
