don't give your bank and credit card info to tech companies if you can help it. don't put ANY critical stuff on anything that remotely resembles the shape of a cloud.
That's really the only solution here. Companies can't be forced to give up data they don't have. A company that isn't physically delivering things to you doesn't need your real address. If it's not depositing money into your account, they don't need your credit card/bank info either, nor your real name
