I agree, so much personal info., although I remember filling out app. with Helion, and it was the same. I think European
companies require more than this country. Somethings are insane, like the brands of watches you own, brands you wear. I presume they are looking for shoppers that shop a certain class of stores, and are weeding out others. I did sign up, we shall see. Hope they pay according to the info. they need.
