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, ebay@yourdomain.eggs, youtube@yourdomain.eggs, bankname@yourdomain.eggs, etc. This makes it easy to tell who is selling your details since the only people who know, say, amazon@yourdomain.eggs 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.
