[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 3091981, member: 63925"] I will NEVER own anything Samsung again. They would not accept my warranty registration without my DOB. I forwarded this BS to MI AG. They contacted Samsung and voila not needed. But they do collect far too much personal data IMO and just another database putting your personal data at risk. Their entire database is arranged off your detailed personal data. I know others are doing it as well but I dig in my heels and reject every little personal dataset any manufacturer asks for in warranty registration. I look at appliances in different light these days. I had a GE from 80's in puke avocado green. It would still be in use today if not for that 🤮 color! Refrigerators today are at best 7-10 lifespan. Dishwashers 5-7. Washer dryers prob in 7-10. Stoves are little better. This info is from someone I talked to in appliance design engineering. Me? Buy the appliance with best warranty, minimal electronic bells whistles, zero smart connection, water connections for ice and water options are biggest risk so look at reviews complaints on water leakage issues. Smart appliances are no different than any other smart electronics. Your data may become at risk if the smart appliances are directly tied to WIFI. No not paranoid, just tired of personal data being breached 2-3x year by companies that REFUSE to implement MAXIMUM data security protocols to protect the data they have collected and are LEGALLY responsible to protect.
