How Comfortable Are You About Giving Your Personal Information?

[Nomad]

Whether you want to sign up with social media site or recruitment site or a job site, you will always asked to give your personal information. If you are not very comfortable in giving away you personal information, you can just do one thing, instead of sharing your information on every site you join, share your information on just one site and share link from that site on other sites. For instance, instead of giving out your personal info on freelancing sites, you can share links to your Facebook or LinkedIn profiles. By the way, how comfortable are you about giving your personal information.

It's impossible to avoid giving out online info to legit companies. However, I do try to avoid giving out my bank routing and account number to all but the most trustworthy sites. It's a reasonable safeguard, but surely someone who is obsessed with safety cannot join anything on the internet.

Some years ago, I was not really that concern about giving up my personal information online but when I understood the implication of what I was doing, I have made the decision never to easily release my personal information on any online platform for any reason whatsoever. This is because of the possibility of having my identity stolen and used for illegal activities online.

I trust a lot of sites, but I always check to see if I'm posting too much information. In today's world, money rules, so even well-known companies are not against selling data to third-party services. I don't have a choice when I need to share my phone number or email, but I'm still afraid to send my passport details via social media

I don't really like giving my personal information, I always feel uncomfortable giving it because you never know precisely what will happen to it once you give it, that's why I don't like KYC protocols so much.

I actually think it's useful that sites ask for validation of real world information. The more that we're tied to our real world selves, the more accountable and responsible we are to our online actions.

The power and danger of forums is anonymity.

Anonymity to a certain extent is important to me, that is, you should know who to give your data to and who not in a forum, you don't need to give more data about yourself if you don't want to, privacy is something important nowadays to take care of, in a world where we are increasingly monitored, don't you think?
