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.

don't they still ask you for a name?

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.
