I lie shamelessly to companies when signing up these days. They get fake DoBs, names, aliased emails, fake addresses, phones, the lot. Let them out that data on my profile without consent, hopefully they aren't going to expend resources to penetrate that veil.
They dont even have to pay to expend resources. People will buy that shit, sort through it, then sell it to turn a profit. The advertising industry is a cancer to the human race.
If you then keep a log of who you told what, it'll be easier to keep track of which companies distributed "your" info.
I use keepass, it's worked great for years. No way I could remember passwords anyway without it.
