Is it legal to ask for my information?

score:6

The legality of asking for personal information when setting up an online account varies greatly by location, and is not the least bit related to travel.

In the US, for instance, it is legal to ask such information--provided the person answering the questions is at least 13 years of age, or has parental consent.

In Canada, my understanding is, it is illegal to require personal information that is not necessary for performing the service requested.

Other localities will of course have different rules.

And the rules as they relate to access over the Internet get even more confusing... And still not the least bit on-topic for this site.
