Email address exposure in spreadsheet

[Maxstl007]

Bounty managers please kindly start hiding emails in your spreadsheet because I always like using new email for bounty participation and I surprised that there are many offer mails in my email account, some are free airdrop some are affiliate marketing offers, I still remember that some people are selling email addresses online, it will be easier for such people to go through bounty spreadsheet and pack the whole email address

You can control the bounty manager to hide the email lists on spreadsheet yourself, you don't need to make post about it on here, I'm guessing that this happens almost every time when a new bounty managers tries to manage a new project, no reputable bounty manager will do such thing

Fortunately, smart bounty managers hide confidential information.
Sometimes they are not the bounties manager, you should check when you do airdrops.
This is when unwanted people get your email.

Email crypto spam is the big problem. Only special email address for crypto could solve this problem more or less

This will solve the issue, Bounty hunter should not use there personal email when joining in bounty campaign. Always expect the worst that there details will be exposed in public.

Bounty manager submit all the spreadsheet information to the project owner so even though they hide it. Project owner will see it and they are the one that selling or giving away user email to other project to have initial user for them.

Agree, I also get useless mail messages every day, and it makes me a little annoyed when lots of free Airdrop offers come to my email, it makes me have to clean my email every day, so I totally agree that bounty managers hide email of each participant who enters the bounty.

Trust nobody, even bounty managers can engage in such act, for extra dollar more anybody can do anything, we are been asked to drop email address for unknown purposes, probably for marketing purposes who knows? But not all bounty managers can be trusted, anyways they are just emails, it's easier to create a new one if the old is full of spams

I agree with you that the bounty manager must hide the emails of all participants who participate with the prize campaign, the number of Airdrops sent to my email may be quite disturbing for many participants, maybe not only me who received the message, even from the number of participants, they must have received messages from the Airdrop that It is enough to disturb all of us, at least the Bounty Manager can hear this complaint so that all bounty participants no longer get Airdrop emails which might be quite disturbing ..

This depends on each BM, for experienced BMs they will surely recognize it and they have hidden it. Usually i see new BMs or projects that manage their own bounty, such projects often bring a large amount of spam mail, so choosing which bounty to join is a concern before.

Yes it depends, if the bounty manager is a new one he or she will leave it be thinking it can't cause any harm, not until bounty hunters raise alarm themselves, my advice is to speak up for yourselves when any bounty manager expose emails in spreadsheet, they might not see it as a threat

I have different email accounts for different things, whether it's crypto or not, but definitely have one main account that "catches" all these affiliate and spam emails. Since I used it a few years ago, the inbox receives nothing but spam. Unavoidable, and perhaps one more reason for you to consider not ever using an email address or participating in a bounty like that.

[meanwords]

Just make a separate email account for bounty hunting to avoid getting spammed from your main one.

I'm glad that some bounty hunters are doing this though because I could distinguish either if they can be trusted or not. As you can see, you will noticed that there's a significant difference between a professional manager and a newbie one just by looking at their spreadsheet.

This is true; and bounty managers definitely have to ensure they provide privacy assurances for their participants; but also; as a bounty hunter; you should never use your personal emails for bounty; you must have seperate email for business, seperate emails for banks; seperate email for your CV, seperate emails for your airdrop and bounty participation.  Protect yourself! it is your responsibility

You should send your manager a direct message regarding your problem. Idk what they to do with your email but it's not only you. Im also getting a lot of email about the various promotions too.
They were copying your email from the spreadsheet and that's possible to be done by the scammers too.
I hope that your problem will be solved as soon as possible. Email should not be exposed to the public.

[Balladtony77]

It's wrong to expose participants email address through spreadsheet, scammers will surely go around packing all the email address and start sending phishing and scam offers to them or even sell to spammers, bounty managers should know that this is wrong, of not bounty hunters should raise their voices

[fvb]

Sometimes they even write that they won't use your data.  But they themselves openly provide your mail for everyone to see.  I don't like it either, and I even wrote to the manager, but he ignored my appeal.

I've promoted two bounties managed by jr members but I warned them about the email exposure in spreadsheet and they listen, they hide the emails in spreadsheet, this can happen if the bounty managers are new to bounty managing, you just have to correct them.

[bitcoin-shark]

obviously our e-mails once published on a spreadsheet are public and therefore visible to anyone that's why I use one created specifically for bounty and nothing else and I don't use my main e-mail and it is useless to take unnecessary risks

Previously, our data on postal mail really remained in many tables and this is quite dangerous for bounty hunters.  I have had my email address hacked once.  Through it you can enter backups of documents, saved account passwords, private keys from our wallets and much more.  Therefore, of course, it is not worth putting our e-mail addresses on public display.  Recently, I no longer see them in the table and this is correct.  We are gradually developing certain safety rules for bounty hunters.  I am also pleased that KYC is almost never carried out.

This is a dilemma when we need to submit our email address or telegram or other data in the spreadsheet, but we have to.
This is the most common thing happens, after that, we will be spammed by hundreds of spam emails or groups to join airdrops and other promotions. And most of them are useless.
