once you receive emails from someone or from a company you didn't subscribe to or know, it's sure that your data had been sold. sometimes it not literally sold. there are email farmers actually who collect online and they are paid by someone who wants to do email marketing.

but once you have google account and use chrome where you login you email, you can't hide anymore. especially to someone who uses this email to trading accounts.

When we have done KYC on any platform, it is likely that they can trade our data, even on trusted platforms because hackers can penetrate the security and steal the users data on that platform.

Yes, I have received several emails and sms some time ago, I previous joined BCNEX campaign and I did KYC there to get payment, so I immediately remembered that sms and email I received came from the data they had sold
Are you sure you have only done KYC in that bounty?
BCNEX is one of the bounties whose project namely exchange, becomes a scam.

are you now receiving some emails that you have never received before? That's probably they've sold not only your identity but also contact details.

I have ever seen that the jinbi or scam project developer was creating a thread about selling the personal data on the service section. I suspect that the KYC from the bounty hunters.
I can't remember it correctly whether it's jinbi developers or something else but i have ever seen that before.

If you are getting the bill from somewhere that you didn't know about and then your data already used by a stranger. It's still possible your data is still safe.

I barely saw a campaign manager who required bounty hunter to fulfill the KYC first before participating or before they get their stakes. Although I don't participate a lot on bounty hunting since it's hard to trust someone who's not reputable enough to manage the campaign. I knew some before but I don't see them anymore here, they must have been on another journey instead of wasting their time on these shitcoins.

Anyway, your personal data is considered as sold or compromised if you ever sent them your personal details. That's why most participants you've seen on bounty hunter are most likely coming from third world country that doesn't really care about their personal information being sold in the black market.

is it possible that our data is still safe with past scam projects?
There are two issues with the above line:

  • The moment you've sent [sold] your data for those bounties, you should consider those as compromised data.
  • You mentioned "past scam projects", so expect those scammers to capitalize on every opportunity that they could get their hands on.

I've seen a few times already that these scammers [with new accounts] tried selling such data on both of the marketplaces in this forum.

What personal data you talking about? KYC? I've never joined or promote any bounty project that requires KYC verification before because not all of them can be trusted and some bounties are pure scam too, KYC in bounties is not for me, information is a very delicate thing to just give out like that

Many of us must have done KYC in several bounties in the past, have any of you experienced any strange events? like getting bill or whatever. is it possible that our data is still safe with past scam projects?

are you like me who is always worried about personal data?

Based up in experience about bounty program in the past then i havent tried to sent out any documents just for the sake of earning those bounty tokens and wayback majority of projects
doesnt really ask out KYC but as the we do go ahead in future years where government is trying to regulate some projects then thats the time they do imposed up KYC
excluding those scam ones which are bit obvious.

You cant really tell if those submitted documents or KYC is really on the safe side on where those informations  wouldnt leak somewhere in online world.

There are people who doesnt really mind much about their identity and do still keep sending out those documents just for the sake of getting those tokens which
value are still questionable.

Primary thing on why we are here on crypto is for that anonymity and that totally opposes on it.

Nope, you have no assurance that the data that they've saved will be kept and safe forever.
are you like me who is always worried about personal data?
We do, are you now receiving some emails that you have never received before? That's probably they've sold not only your identity but also contact details.
