No, it is not possible. And this is good, for several reasons, but mainly:

  • You can lock a mobile device remotely with your IMEI only. This is usually done in case of theft or robbery. Now imagine a malicious person who has picked up your email through a website - that person could contact you and try to extort money from you under the threat of blocking your device if you do not pay.

  • Javascript in browsers does not have access to anything that can uniquely identify a machine. You can not get the computer name on the network, or access the client directory structure, for example. The reason follows a line similar to that of the previous reason: Anything you could do with this information would be a privacy violation.

If you want some customer information, create a page where you can enter these things manually.
