I went to the Canon website. You can sign in with various accounts, such as a Google account. Then you agree that Canon gets all of your information to use for whatever they wish.
I advise a blockade and a complete one. Don't buy a Canon Printer, they're junk anyways, and the ink is way too expensive. Don't sign in to their website and make an account. If they want to become a data hungry foul corporation that wants your personal information, they aren't worth spending a penny on, or on any of their products, which, by the way, can be found on other websites.
Their models have been around for years, and there isn't a model there that you can't find either the same subject, or a similar model for free. That site's usefulness has come and gone.
I belong to a technical forum, and Canon Printers, I don't know what they did, but have developed a bad reputation for longevity, price of ink, and software problems.
Zealotmodels.com never gives it's members emails to anyone.
