Just don't submit your data to everyone who asks for it. A lot of website ask for your phone number and date of birth for no reason whatsoever.

Like to microsoft.

- Buy HALO on steam

- Yeah, just make new a MS account, you can use temporary email and you're ready to go.

- Play some time (oops, more than two hours, you can't return it now).

- Next time you run, "We blocked your account due to strange activity, input phone number to unblock".

Now without giving up your phone number, you can't continue to play the game you bought.

This happened to me with Minecraft. It was amazing what a pain in the ass they made it to give them some money and then the gaslighting and hassle I had to endure to get what I paid for.

I only play that game single player.
