Which personal details would you refuse to share?

By Sally - Silversurfer's Editor Jun 19, 2017

Everyone from supermarkets to social media sites want our personal details – but where do you draw the line?

These days, it seems we’re asked to hand over a rich mix of particulars on a regular basis.

Chuggers ask for our bank account details. Websites won’t allow access without our email address. We give away our credit card number whenever we shop online.

It wasn’t that long ago, however, that your personal details were just that: personal. And they would only be shared with those you knew and trusted or dealt with face-to-face, such as your bank manager or local store.

With so much information being exchanged online, however, sharing with those we’ve never met has become the norm. But with identity theft at an all-time high, is that a good thing? What will you say when you’re next asked?
