From an earlier legal comment it seems that they perhaps do have that
right, which is a shame!

There was a case, probably mentioned here, where the customer had paid
for the printer and then they asked for details. He refused, and they
said he couldn't have the item. He walked out with it, was (I think)
challenged by security, and he dared them to stop him (unlawful
detention or similar).

In that scenario, they have already accepted payment. In the OPs
scenario they are merely offering to sell him a printer on their
terms, one of which being that he supplies personal details.

I'm perfectly aware of that, and assumed that anyone with a brain cell
would realise the reason. It was just a nice story, and perhaps a way to
proceed if one wants to wind them up...say you'll do it after you've
paid.
