Has Gainward merged with Radio Shack? Tell them your sex for tech support!

Give me a break!

I thought it was illegal to require such information for any service. (That doesn't sound right). I thought it could only be requested, not required?

Thanks for the find.

 

[kursplat]

i don't see any kind of privacy statement at their site , so i'm guessing it's to sell the info.........

 

[ScrewFace]

That's absolute bullsh*t! What's your sex got to do with tech support? But, they can do anything they want if you need tech support. The gov't must step in...NOW!:|

 

[spanky]

why not just lie then.

 

[Goose77]

WTF ahahah....

Gainward tech support:

with MALE:

tech: Your gonna have to edit that sys.ini file... etc.

guy: OK
______________
with FEMALE:

tech: Your gonna have to press that button on the lower right side of monitor to turn it on, so you can get a picture

girl: hum???

the only way im going to fill out that form is if my videocard is totally dead and i need a replacement from them.

 

[jiffylube1024]

man, their support form looks ok (only a few things are required) but who's the idiot who made sex a mandatory field to fill out!!??

 

[nRollo]

Calm down everybody.
They just wantr to compile market demographics on their customers. It's not like they asked hwo many times you had sex this week.

 

[iwearnosox]

Uh, yeah. Why should I be required to give such info for support on a product I've already purchased? It's not their right to do that, so get it off.
