A new online service open code και δωρεάν σας βοηθά να μάθετε αν η διεύθυνση του ηλεκτρονικού σας ταχυδρομείου έχει πωληθεί από εταιρείες που συλλέγουν δεδομένα. Η νέα υπηρεσία ονομάζεται Have I Been Sold.
If your inbox is full of unwanted messages in the past, and you're wondering how senders find you, there are lots of possible scenarios. You may have publicly published your email address, or responding to unsolicited emails. Of course, you may have made a subscription to services that did not respect your privacy and sold the email to advertising agencies.
Yes, it's no secret: Some companies sell the data they collect to other companies.
Here we should mention a warning: The developer dealing with the project is also associated with Diffbot.com which happens to be "the largest and most accurate database of people and companies in the world".
He said there was no connection between the two services and that "Have I Been Sold" does not sell, distribute or share email addresses "with anyone for any reason".
Since we have clarified what seems to be quite suspicious to us that the new service is functioning in the way that the popular service I Have Been Pwned has checked.
Type your email in the form on the web page and click on the search. The results will tell you if your email address is located in any of the service databases.
Let's say the new feature of the service is that you can request that your email addresses be deleted from the databases they use. You can also authorize the service to let you know if your email address will be referenced in new databases.
What do we think about the service:
I Have Been Sold may sound like a useful service, but you do not have to use it.
Why
The list of email addresses in the service already exists in Have I Been Pwned.
Developer engagement with Diffbot.com is uninspiring confidence.
If you have already received junk mail, the likelihood of your email being sold or published somewhere public is too high.
The one feature that sounds appealing about the new service is that it can notify you if your email appears on another public list. However, it doesn't seem worth the risk of adding a new email to some database that no one can guarantee how usesth.
The best way to find who sells your data is to create unique email addresses for each service you want to sign up for. However, this trick requires trouble and time, which does not exceed.

- Question: Can you send email without email?
- Multiple subscriptions to the same service with a Gmail
If we want a mail for 1-2 times, ie mail that we will use to activate a program that we want to download and requires confirmation from the program designer via confirm your id, then go to the page https://www.mailinator.com/ we give a random mail name eg: arnakiasprokaipaxi, the system adds next to @ mailinator.com and so we get: arnakiasprokaipaxi@mailinator.com. This mail also has an inbox so when the developer of the program we want to download sends a confirmation link, we will click on confirm WITHOUT having further sp spam receipts (see tons of style mail: “I sell 60 tons of potatoes for 1 €).
