I use my real name, but I'll put the business as my middle name. So when l get an email saying "Dear John StoreName Doe", I'll know who either got hacked or sold my info.
My name is Walter ~~Hartwell~~ Los Pollos Hermanos White, if you are watching this, I'm probably dead, murder by my brother in law, Hank Alberquerque DEA Schrader
I do similar, but with an email alias instead. I sign up with storename@my.domain and it all just routes to my main inbox. This way, I know if an email comes in that I never asked for, I can see what company sold my information and stop using them.
You can also do this with lots of email accounts like Gmail - myemail+storename@gmail.com goes to myemail@google.com but lets you easily filter and see who sells/leaked/got hacked your data.
I used to do that as well, but most spamers have caught on and strip that out first.
