It seems most larger items you buy for the home these days wants you to register for your warranty,either online or by phone, I wonder why they need to harvest so much data about you to register a warranty that the device comes with, I notice that some try an sell you extended warranty, some soon after start emailing you with special offers or their other product lines, even though you have ticked the box saying no to these, or they want reviews on a product you have only owned for a few days.
