Brinks, security or not?

I ran across an ad the other day about Brink’s Home Security. I thought this sounded like a great idea, so I decided to check it out. I got on the website to sign up for this security system, and it started asking me for all of my information. i thought to myself, "brinks says they provide safe and secure security, but how secure is it really when they are asking me for all of my information?" i never thought that something like Brinks would use these crazy tactics to get people to use their product. They are always advertising that they are extremely safe and that there has been very much work put into it. But one of the questions that i want to know the answer to is how is brinks secure when they know everyone’s information who signs up for their security system. They reel people in by using commercials of incidents of robberies and break-ins. they look real and it looks like the security system would work well, but i don’t think that giving out all of my information is a safe and secure way just to have home security. I think that their ads and commercials provide great evidence that they are a safe security system, but I do not agree completely when they want me to give them everything that they ask for. After I submit that information, it is saved to them forever. They will always know where I live, what age I am, what kind of house I have. Everything they need to know to potentially rob a house or break into a house I am giving them just to get security. Their website is very contradicting.
