I actually have no problem with email publications because i use a separate email for bounties. But in a general and open view, it is wrong, several spam messages are always sent to me, and i already marked them as spam, so it never troubles my inbox no more.
For newbies, i implore you to do the same, never use your exchange or personal email for Bounties, get an alternative email for Bounties, an alternative email for exchanges so you can always be safe to a certain extent. Remember, never share private information about your email, exchanges or crypto currency wallet to a 3rd party

I guess on 🔴[BOUNTY DETECTIVE]🔴LUDENA PROTOCOL - 24 ETH REWARD POOL 🔴 because @OP is joining that campaign. For OP have you contacted BountyDetective about this issue before creating this thread? Also you can submit your complaint in their complaint formUsing personal information (e.g. email, phone number) in Bounties or unknown project is dangerous, your identity can be used by fraudster to scam people... it will make the scammers stay undetected. You need to separate your email for personal use, business, and bounties... or you can use temporary emails (e.g. Yopmail). Read : Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless

How do you think? this is big problem they should hide the email address of any bounty participants its possible that some one will collect all of the email address sell and use that for other kind promotion. You should ask the manager to mandatory hide your personal email address because its very important for every one. If manager don't act with that complain then, forget about participating in the bounty manage by that manager.

Someone has already created a good suggestion about that and it looks like what you need to do to ask them directly and maybe there were some changes in the rules. The BD is really active giving response to the member who has asked them about a lot of questions related to the campaign.

I am also curious why they need email addresses for just bounty campaigns? What is/are the use of an email address? If they are asking, then they have something to do with it, it is just like before when the airdrop happened around bull run 2017-2018, you need to fill out some forms before you can get the airdropped token, for sure most of them are just farming email addresses that got interested in cryptocurrency

Bounty detective aren't professionals, they are trying hard to be, you can just tell them how unwise it is to show email address in spreadsheet and I'm sure they will adjust because bounty detective team always works in favour of their bounty hunters

This is why email should not be included or hide. Your right OP, this should be hide by the manager as much as possible no details should be shown on sheet. I like my campaign now, cause they only display the eth address used by participants. There is no way scammer can track your identity aside from the eth address you used.
Better avoid some campaigns or warn most manager so they can change their style about it.

How do you think? When joining bounties do not use your private email address, always create a separate email address for bounties and airdrops, it's certain that spammers will start sending stupid mails to you and even Phishing mails, you should get in touch with BM and make them see reasons

Don't blame bounty detective, they might not see this as a threat for the email owners, they listen to bounty hunters issue that's why I like bounty detective team, please just try to tell them what they are doing wrong and they will fix instantly

It always better to not use your main email for crypto. This will save you from spam

I guess this thread was moved from altcoins sections to Reputation and that is why the large number of replies.
OP, you can either of the following:
1. Use a secondary email for signing up for bounties. Do not use your personal email or work email. 2. Ask BountyDetective for modifying his work so that the email would not be published in the public spreadsheet.
Point is that email gathering and bulk email spamming is a normal marketing method, so option 1 is always better from your side.

The purpose of collecting your email address is obvious. They will either be leaked, sold to advertising spammers, or they themselves will spam the hell out of your email addresses. Like most members have said, never use your primary email for such crap bounties and ICOs.
And No, what they did isn't professional.

But in fact they publish our emails in spreadsheet, is this what is called professional ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) We know that email is privacy and not for publication. How do you think? It is a bad practice indeed, to reveal email address of bounty campaign participants for many reasons (you might get spam or malware links etc) With that being said, have you contacted anyone from Bounty Detective and asked them about that issue (it can be sorted easily, basically just one click of the mouse) and another thing, do they reveal email address on all of their bounty campaign spreadsheets , or that was just the case of the bounty campaign you joined?

He/they uses this forum for managing bounties so if there are concerns relating to it I think it's just good to know his/their opinions about the matter, and besides the thread has already been created. This isn't professional and they should not continue the practice.

"Email addresses will be hidden, and won't be used for any spam / promotional actions. Emails are to verify users when comparing data with projects own data."
Have you contacted the campaign manager? If BountyDetective said that they will not make email list public, I think it was a mistake from their side. You can contact with them. It's of course not a good practise since for their mistake, the list may go to a lot of spammer. However, I think you should use throwaway email for such purpose of activities. Why would you even use your regular email here?

I don't even know why an email address is required to join a bounty campaign! I don't see how it can be used to detect cheaters, creating a new email is totally free and won't take more than 2 minutes. "Email addresses will be hidden, and won't be used for any spam / promotional actions. Emails are to verify users when comparing data with projects own data."
can you, please, add the link of the topic from where this sentence was taken. Probably, it's an innocent mistake and he just forgot to remove or hide the emails' column. Contact him and let him know about it.

I have looked through the tables of the latest bounty that this manager maintains. I didn't find any information about the emails there. Perhaps this was a requirement of the project itself and not the fault of the manager. Sometimes after the end of the bounty, notifications are sent to e-mails. Perhaps this required email. And of course, I'm not defending anyone, I just look at things positively. You should always be very suspicious and not trust your personal information and email to everyone. In each case, it is sufficient to create a separate email address and a separate password. This will protect you from many problems.
