About time

This is why I switched to Posteo email several years ago. They didn't request personal information when I signed up and they even allow cash payments at their premises to negate the need for bank details.

If everyone acted this responsibly then I'd have no problem providing the minimal personal information in order to receive a service, and I'd also be happy to receive monthly (or whatever timescale I specified) promotional emails.

If Google, Facebook and other abusers of personal data disappear under a mountain of Subject Access Requests, mine included, I will not miss them one fucking bit. The Internet will be a better place for it.
