When you use words like "never" and "always," you tend to be wrong.

In 1999 or 2000, whenever it was that I bought my first¹ new iMac,
I filled out the registration form with my correct address.  As is my 
custom for the rare occasions in which I reveal that to merchants,
I put "NO JUNK MAIL !!!" as the second address line.

I removed the tick from the "share my information with others" box.
(if Apple has never shared customer information, why was that box 
there?)  For the next six months, each month I received catalogs from 
four stores not owned by Apple, with "NO JUNK MAIL !!" under my address.

¹and last.  All since have been “pre-owned”
