i went to sign up, just to get this. process requires full name, address, and credit card to get a "free" app. There is no opt out option. I will pass, I don't give out credit card info, ever.
If you have ever ordered anything off of Amazon you would have to go through the same process. Amazon offers these free apps to get people to order more apps or items. I set up a refillable gift debit card and use my work address.
