You can give unique emails to every service, not provide your real DOB, use randomized security questions, and a per-service alias name.
The only cases where this doesn’t work are banking and airlines, which are required to check your government ID. Trello isn’t, and you can give them a burner forwarding email and fake name so this kind of thing doesn’t affect you.
You’d be surprised how much business you can conduct without providing your name. (pro tip: the “name” field in the credit card form is not matched against the cardholder.)
Also, make sure your CC billing address is a post box, so you’re not giving your residential address to everyone you transact with (the address/zip is matched).
- xwolfi 3y agoNot only the name is matched here in Hong Kong, but the address as well: so many people don't believe it, and I have to strongly insist they just write it better and poof, payment works ! I think it's a sort of option / depends on amount: some sites don't ask more than your card number and it works, some other you need to redo 5 times before they match properly. And anyway here you need to approve in the app like for a Google 2FA in Android.
- 2024throwaway 3y agoTry getting the CC you left at a restaurant back from then with an ID that doesn’t match the name.
- sneak 3y agoNo restaurant has ever asked me for an ID when making payment. Also, I think perhaps you misunderstood me: I am talking about forms on the web, as this thread is about Trello’s leak. My ID and all of my payment cards match (as I used the same ID to obtain them).
- 2024throwaway 3y agoI didn't say when making a payment, I said if you forgot your card there. Also, I have been asked to show ID with a card when making payment at plenty of retail establishments, just not necessarily restaurants.
