No, I don't want random companies to have my legal name, I reserve the right to be anonymous both online and offline
do you pay cash for everything?
Whenever possible, yes. Unless I don't have cash with me, then I may sacrifice.
For online purchases I need to give my address anyway and name so I can pick the package so there's no way around it.
Whenever possible I always use a random fake name if really required to fill a name form.
well, yeah, that's what we are talking about here. online purchases that require anti-bot procedures.
