If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, then you will not be eligible to receive promotional emails from Thomson and specific requests to be added to our email list will be deleted automatically after one month. Excluded from this automatic deletion process is any information related to a request from you for Thomson information or assistance. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.
