The Importance of Product Registration
Do you register all of
your electronic devices when you purchase them? Do you know why you should? Do
you know what the manufacturer can use that information for? If your property
is ever stolen, that information could be used to locate it. Here’s how this
works.
- The following information is entered into a
database hosted by the manufacturer
- First and Last Name
- Mobile and Home Phone Number
- Home Address
- Email Address
- Serial Number of electronic device
- Data is also collected when you make purchases from
websites such as iTunes
- Serial Number
- Name
- Credit Card information
- If you report your device as being stolen, the
database can flag the device and it can be monitored for use online
- If the item is used, the owner can be notified of
the location of its use
Remember, this would only
work if your product is registered after purchase.
