# What information do I have to give to start the trial?

Three things: your **full name**, your **email address** and your **country**, followed by a one-time code we send to that email so we know the address is yours.

These details are used to set up and support your trial, send the verification code and email a couple of reminders before the trial ends. No spam, and nothing is sold on. Your files are not involved and never leave your Mac — only the registration details you type are sent.
