Decathlon — sports goods/company policy

Address:

600096

When i went to the check out counter, i was told that i could not make a purchase unless i gave them either my phone number or e-mail address.

Nowhere in the shop was there any notice to this effect. I had taken both my children to the shop and they had tried on the shorts and slippers that we wanted to purchase. On the other hand, the shop manager (Decathlon store on omr near apollo hospital, chennai) mr prasad told me that they need the information in case they want to recall any defective goods. When i offered my entire postal address, they rejected it.

I believe this constitutes a violation of my privacy and i am sure this information (In case i had given it) would have been used to track me/other purchases/offers for other goods.
