Live: Come with us into the murky world of cyber hacking

Can we refuse to give the companies the information they want or alternatively, can we ourselves limit the amount of information they hold on us when we originally open up a transaction/new account with them? - LindaCompanies shouldn't ask you for information that isn't necessary to provide you with the relevant product or service — there is even an obligation on organisations to allow you to interact anonymously or using a pseudonym where possible under the federal Privacy Act .

I never give information where it's possible to register or transact without that information , and avoid some non-essential transactions where companies demand more information than necessary. Where you're concerned companies are asking for excessive information, it's a good idea to let them know that you object — create friction for over-collection. And where you are under no legal obligation to provide accurate information or your actual name, it's up to you whether you choose to engage in some "data obfuscation".
