private info to donate/buy membership?

[avocadoninja]

Is there a way to buy membership that doesn't ask me for my private information. I was honestly kinda stunned with how incessant and intrusive the "buy membership now" ads are, which, fair, this site is probably pretty big now and hosting can get expensive fast, and i do appreciate the site, so I figured i might as well. Do you require forms of payment that involves disclosing private addresses or is there another option?

The Nexus does not store the "private information" needed to process those transactions. We only keep your registration email address on file. The other data is needed to verify the payment so we pass it along to PayPal or your financial institution, and your country is needed to calculate the correct amount of tax. That's all.

 

(For all we care you can say your name is "Santa Claus" and your address is "The North Pole", but then the payment might not go through... :laugh: )

The moment you log into the internet, your privacy goes out the door. Get over it. Forget VPN or any other tool you think you can hide behind. It's bogus. It gives a sense of 'security', sure. Just a sense.

The moment you pick up a contract of any sort. You don't need to be on the internet for your information to be sold around it.
