Use the Middle Name Field to Track Sites Selling Your Information
Your personal data is very valuable to companies, especially as many of them mine and sell it . Use the middle name field to find out which companies sold your personal information.
Tools like StopDataMining.me can help you opt out of some of these companies , but if you want to know who is selling your data, one of Redditor’s offers a clever way to do just that:
When you subscribe to anything on the Internet, include the website name as your middle name. This way, when you receive spam / promotional emails, you will know who sold your information.
This doesn’t exactly prevent the sale of your information, but it tells you which site took the action so you can warn others and stay away from them in the future. For more details please follow the link below.
