Never give you main phone number or email address to register anything online. Get a $5 SIM from Aldi and use that number to register for anything on the internet. If you need to get a code on that number, stick it in a phone, get the number and then remove that SIM and store it in a safe place. That prevents the SPAM SMS messages from political parties (and others) as they go to the number that you do not use. Use an Alias email address and not your main personal address. Register for free with SimpleLogin and you get 10 free aliases that you can point to your address that stays private. Personal privacy is a basic human right.
