"Warranty cards that ask for your household income, number of children, hobbies and other personal information are just a way to profile you and sell that information to marketers," says attorney Mari J. Frank, author of The Identity Theft Survival Kit.
When this private information about you is sold, it increases the of junk mail and spam you receive, and can even make you vulnerble to identity theft.
Frank’s advice: Write only your name, address and the product serial number on the card. She says "As long as there is a receipt, the item is under warranty—whether or not you fill out the warranty card."
