>It does bring up an interesting idea, how many people use unique emails for each company to track spam

Probably not a lot, but Apple's "Hide my Email" feature is now native to iOS and should in theory make this fairly easy to do. I do this _occasionally_ when signing up for new sites.

I had an online place (I can't recall which) that flagged a Hide My Email as invalid. That pissed me off and I left that site immediately.

I was very happy when that was added, I have started using it for anything I sign up for.

Doesn't fix everything that already has my email, but I am hoping it helps to expose companies that sell data more. It is hard to hide behind "well maybe you accidentally did it" when I don't think there is a way on iOS to use the same email in multiple places?

I've gotten to the point where signing up for anything is rare. I used to try out all types of tools to see if they help me work, or sign up for the "10% discount" at some new store.

But then you start to realize what happens to your info. If I buy running shorts from Nike I'll start getting junk mail from running and fitness brands to my home address. If I back something on Kickstarter I get spam coming from other Kickstarter campaigns.

Lately I've started reading privacy policies more than signing up. Here's something from Pelotons policy on what they collect:

> Voice and Likeness: Your visual image, likeness and voice recording (e.g., via photographs, video and/or CCTV) if you visit our studios and/or showrooms or participate in live studio classes. Additionally, Peloton fitness equipment and the Peloton App may contain a camera, microphone and voice control features. These features are in use only when activated by you, for example, to use the Peloton Guide, to take a Peloton user profile photo or to initiate or accept a video chat from another user and, for usage of the Peloton App, any device settings that you have activated.
