It sounds like their point of sales system collects your email somehow when you use your credit card. Likely the option to opt out is either not presented on the screen, OR it is there but difficult to see. It may be possible to go through your card company or bank, and see if there's a way to automatically restrict the release of your email when you make a transaction.

They did not get it through the CC company or bank. 100% confident OP entered their email for something once and didn't realize they were linking the two because the payment processors (stripe and square are both guilty of this but stripe seems worse) was coy/misleadingon the POS screen that they were doing it.
