In order to attract new customers, businesses will launch various activities, such as joining a brand as a member consumer, which is familiar to most parents. Now, Ma Bao said that she had met the activity of exchanging birth certificates for milk powder. From Ma Bao's description, we can know that from her birth certificate, most of the activities to receive milk powder come from well-known brands, such as He Fei, Junlebao, Abbott and Mead Johnson. This kind of replacement activity for milk powder is available in online official and offline maternal and child stores. The online requirement is to upload the original birth certificate, and the activity of the physical store is to take photos or copy the birth certificate for the record.
In this era of more and more attention to privacy, if a merchant asks for personal information, especially identity-related information, most consumers will consider it. Some treasure moms are worried that this operation lacks security, and some parents say that this is a routine for businesses. Watching everyone get milk powder for free, the actual business is not good. If consumers ask customer service or staff why they do this, they will generally reply that it is to explain to defenders; Want to know how many new customers there are; Prevent people from eating milk powder indiscriminately. But in fact, there are many disadvantages in using birth certificates to participate in the milk powder activities of merchants:
1, the birth certificate is not only the child's first ID card, but also records the parents' name, age, valid ID number and other private information. Many people's information is recorded on a piece of paper, and milk powder or diapers can only be collected once. Birth certificate is related to personal privacy and property security.
2. When the merchant gets the child's birth certificate, it is possible to use the child's information to seek their own interests. For example, in the future, he can calculate the age of the child, when the child wants to switch to milk or complementary food, early education or reading, and so on. He may use the contact number left by participating in the activity to send advertisements to his parents. This is information leakage, which may have an impact.
3. Birth certificates have many functions and uses: as a medical basis to prove the health and natural conditions of people born in People's Republic of China (PRC) and China; Prove the blood relationship of the birth population; Provide medical evidence for newborns to obtain health care services according to law; Provide valid proof for the newborn to obtain nationality; Make accounting vouchers; To provide evidence for other matters that must be effectively proved in the birth medical certificate. If the birth certificate is in the hands of others, it may be used by criminals. Once, the number of the child's birth certificate was repeated, which made it impossible to register. At this time, there will be a lot more things to deal with.
4. The milk powder purchased at regular price can't completely guarantee its safety. Will it be absolutely safe to get free milk powder or buy one for one? The answer is obviously not. Anyway, get the milk powder and don't use it in a hurry. You'd better look at the production date and outer packaging of milk powder. If possible, it is recommended to check the authenticity and make sure there is no special abnormality before giving it to the baby. Parents can pay attention to their children's performance when eating milk powder. If their children are not used to this milk powder and don't want to eat it, parents don't have to force them to eat it. If the child feels unwell after eating, such as diarrhea and vomiting, he should immediately go to the hospital for examination and treatment by a professional doctor. As for the remaining milk powder, you can save it first and claim compensation from the merchant if necessary.
Because there are many risks in registering a birth certificate to participate in milk powder activities, this operation of merchants is also called a scam. Remind everyone again that we should treat the behavior of providing personal information to obtain gifts rationally, especially in unofficial organizations. Don't give yourself a birth certificate at will. If a friend borrows a child's birth certificate from himself, it is best to refuse and ask the other party for the purpose of borrowing, and explain the importance of the certificate to the other party if necessary. If you find that your information is being used, please take up legal weapons to safeguard your interests.
