Find out who is compromising your personal data
Through Gmail, there is a simple trick to find out which websites are selling your data.
Let me show you.
If you have one Gmail address you have access to infinite addresses.
For example, if your email is aadisinha@gmail.com you can add a + sign after your email.
If you sign up for Instagram you can sign up using aadisinha+instagram@gmail.com
Any emails you receive will still go to your main email at aadisinha@gmail.com but it will come up with the +instagram when it lands in your inbox.
Every time you create an account on a website add +instagram (or whatever the website is you're signing up for)
Now when you receive spam or junk emails it will come up with the + for whichever website has sold your email address.
You now know which website has sold your data and can act accordingly whichever way you feel best.
There is nothing more frustrating than spam emails, but now you can locate the source of your problem.
I hope this hack has proved useful to you. Gmail is one of the most popular email users and I was only recently made aware of this. more
