How safe is supplying personal information on survey sites?

[hastral45]

If you are conversant with doing survey invitations task online, you won't be suprised to the filling of personal information while doing registration on the sites. The more personal information you submitted, the more your demographic profile would be rated and the more surveys you would be invited to participate.
Information such as your names, emails, tax numbers, bvn, account details etc. Though we are assured of the safety of the information as none of of them would be shared public.
But how are we sure they would keep to their promises. How are we sure our accounts would not be hacked by the hackers. How are we sure our information would not be sold out.
It is advisable to be careful in filling all your personal details online in order to avoid security problems in future.

Personally speaking, I am not comfortable giving out my personal information. That is why I am not into survey sites. I would rather be here and do some writings online.

Reference is just made of survey sites here in order to show the dangers pertaining to submitting ones personal details online. There are many platforms apart from survey sites that engage in this. Most applications we registered on asked of our indepth details in forms of kyc as they asked us to take picture of ourselves our national identity card etc.

Personally it is very hard for me to fill the full information of my identity in survey sites because there are a lots of survey providers and what fi those survey sites give all my information's to all of those survey providers, and what if my identity is stolen, its very risky.

I am cautious of survey websites that ask for personal information. I do not feel comfortable sharing my personal details with them because there is a risk of my information being compromised.

Providing personal information can help in making more money from surveys, so I often skip surveys if they ask for personal information.
