Correct.

Before we even get into that, I want to say one thing because I think we're going to go through this list and people are going to be like, oh my gosh, I do all these things.

At the end of this podcast, I'm going to give you the five things that are absolutely essential.

These ones are a little bit more for people that want more privacy like myself.

So I don't want people to get worried.

you know a couple questions in like oh my gosh I do this all the time I'm going to explain why and I'm also going to go through the pros and cons right so back to your question with like why I don't give like my real identity out online my question back to you is why do they need it uh so they can ship me all the stuff I'm buying but why do they need your name uh why do they need your phone number how they ever called you

If you have a Google Voice number, Google allows you to generate a number that gets forwarded to your real number.

Okay.

So I kind of usually give that if I absolutely need to give a phone number.

I don't ever give my real information.

Okay.

And that's because...

There's constantly profiles being made about you.

And the more information you have online, the more it's sold to more and more people.

My manager, for example, got a letter, like a handwritten letter in her mail with a picture of her house saying, we're in.

We know exactly where you live.

We've been tracking and monitoring you.

What?

We will take it.

Don't worry.
