Collection of your Personal Information We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you.

For example: If you choose a service or transaction that requires payment, such as making a purchase in the Shop area of the Web site, we will request personal information necessary for billing and/or shipping, such as: name, address, telephone number, and credit card number. When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically.
