Ah, that looks like one of those questionnaires that provide them with a 
valuable, sellable, mailing list. I would not give my bank some of that

Can anyone spot in the page a question that asks you precisiely what you 
bought?  You are given five generic options on the previous page.  This 
seems to alter only questions 7 & 9.

I note it goes into a secure screen when you register the product. Perhaps
it asks for a serial number there which will tell them all they need to know
