Want to buy online without handing over all your personal details? This sketch shows how to use privacy tools so you do not share unnecessary details with every merchant you interact with. Think email aliases, VOIP numbers, PMBs, and masked cards.

NBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.

Ordering without revealing your name? With a PO box, virtual card, temporary email, etc.

What a fascinating way to shout out the much longer video she posted today. Setting things up to see more from this channel showed me her most recrnt uploaded titles and... Wow.

This let me plan when I could do an hour, and actually focus on it. I don't know if you did this on purpose, but good work anyway!

I watched this from a YouTube recommendation and found it interesting and worth sharing. No further strategy behind it. :)

I always use a virtual credit card from Revolut.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

don't they still ask you for a name?

[–] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you meant Revolut, then only when signing up for it. Otherwise I just fill a bunch of bullshit into the form and carry on. I always prefer personal pickup or parcel box anyway.

i'm trying to understand how you buy w revolut without providing your name

so you pick it up yourself?
