Adult Sites: How to Have Fun While Protecting Your Personal Data?

Friday night, end of the day, it’s finally time to really relax. And what better way to start the weekend than opening an incognito window with your favorite porn site?

But once you type the address into the address bar, tragedy strikes. Accessing this quality content requires creating an account, ruining everything in an instant. Because, like everyone else, you really don’t want to share your personal data on these types of sites. Who knows where they might land next? No one wants to be on a public list.

But there are plenty of ways to protect yourself. From creating an alternate email address using Surfshark’s Alternate ID to getting a temporary bank card and using a VPN like Surfshark’s, take a closer look at these ways to avoid waiting in line.

Solution #1: Choose a “fake” email address with Surfshark’s alternate ID

As with many other sites, access to adult content is often subject to registration via an email address. Problem: you (and in general: no one in the world) obviously do not want to reveal your personal contact details to these types of platforms. And we understand you.

This is where Surfshark’s Alternative ID comes in. This service allows you to generate a “fake” email address, or even more if you want to cover your tracks as much as possible. The service is very complete: it allows you to create a new digital identity from A to Z including one or more email addresses, a fake name and even a virtual phone number. The full range to create accounts on sites that are a little too curious about your personal data. Your private information is thus protected and the pleasure of watching your favorite “report” remains intact. What could be better?

The alternate ID therefore acts as a forwarding email address. In concrete terms, newsletters, reminders or bad emails will sooner or later arrive at your personal address. We still have to remain vigilant.

Solution #2: Get a temporary bank card

That’s it, your account is created, but another big problem arises: to access certain content, you are sometimes asked to warm up your credit card. If the pleasure that will come is worth this small sacrifice, obviously entering your bank details will enchant you much less. On this type of site, who knows what actually happens to your bank details?

To avoid inconvenience, an increasing number of banks offer the possibility of creating a temporary bank card for free or at a very reasonable price.

Forget your real number, you will be issued a new bank card number, without any connection. This remains active until a certain amount or period is reached. Ideal for making a one-time purchase on your adult site without jeopardizing your savings. Only you and your banker will know (but after all it will be “your little secret”).

Solution #3: Use a VPN to avoid any location

From the moment you access a website, it can locate you using your IP address. Your naughty videos and especially those behind them can then know where you come from. We had better discretion!

VPN seems to be the last barrier between your data and pornographic sites. This tool offers you a confidential and secure connection to the Internet, no matter what site you click on. Your browsing is thus protected, as well as your IP address which remains hidden. Even your Internet Service Provider cannot track you, which is very practical anyway.

In addition to the alternate ID, Surfshark also offers its own VPN, which is a guarantee to keep your data safe. With all these tips, now there is only one thing left to do: sit comfortably in front of your computer and take action!
