When signing up for something online, do you get asked if you'd like to sign in using your Facebook account or your Google account? Don't do it.
When creating an online account consider using a "junk" email address. A "junk" email address is one that you create specifically for signing up for offers online. It is different than your regular email address so that your regular Inbox does not get filled with spam or unwanted advertisements.
How do you get a "junk" email address? Simply go to mail.google.com and create a new email address specifically for this purpose (or any of the other providers - Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) You don't need to feel obligated to check this email account ever.......unless you get curious about the types of emails that are being sent there. :-)
Caution - If you are signing up for an account that you want to receive notifications from go ahead and use your personal email address (credit cards, banks, online retailers, etc.) You don't want to miss out on those types of communication!
Have a GREAT Tuesday!
