... Fanime isn't the odd one out.. I don't know how many conventions you attend or which ones you attend.. but every single one I've been too ( to this date four different conventions) requires personal info upon registration.
Hell looking at several convention websites.. ALL of them require personal info ( Name, home address, email, sometimes phone number)
My comment about Fanime being the odd one out was referring to the fact that it is the norm for companies to disclose their privacy policy when they collect customers' personal information. Fanime does not do this. And they should.
Again, my concerns are with regards to identity theft, hacking, and the pointlessness of Fanime collecting this information and their lack of transparency/a privacy policy.
