About this listen

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.

What you’ll learn, through this dramatic reenactment of an experience submitted by an NBTV community member:
• How PMBs, aliases, VOIP numbers, and masked cards work together
• Why many checkout forms demand more data than a transaction requires

00:00 A Doozy of a Story
00:21 A Dramatic Reenactment
05:29 The Moral of the Story

Let’s stop treating a shopping cart like a background check and make minimal disclosure the standard.
