The worst offender for me is an email address I used to get a fishing license from the state fish and wildlife group. As soon as I did that, I started getting advertisements from some outfitter/prepper type places. Not sure if they bought the address or if licensee info is public in my state.

I made the mistake of using my primary address when I decided to get my real estate license years ago.

It’s on another level now.

Probably public. In NJ, you get snail mail solicitations when you register stuff at the DMV.
