These are all excellent. Can I add my recommendation: buy a domain name and set up so all emails sent to it are diverted to your real mailbox. Then, when you sign up for services you can give them, say, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. This makes it easy to tell who is selling your details since the only people who know, say, [email protected] is Amazon, plus it makes it harder for them to associate your identity on one service with that on another service.
Excellent advice to buy a private domain. All I would add to your comment is find a registrar that will allow you to not publicise your personal information - name, address, etc. I’m sure they will charge for this but its a small price to pay.
I think it’s a good idea to buy a private domain but one should also use a privacy respecting email and aliasing service too. Because if your threat model calls for it, one can easily correlate all your aliases that go back to your own personal domain. Using something like SimpleLogin or anonaddy gives you an anonymity set.
Porkbun have easy privacy options for free, and right on the domain management page. CloudFlare too of course. Also, if you go for a random TLD, like .XYZ or something, do a quick check it supports privacy settings before purchasing.
