A step in my privacy journey I’ve been considering for a while but seems like a pain: pseudo-anonymous postal mail. I’d like to finally try attacking it.
I say pseudo-anonymous because it seems as if (1) LLC owners can be easily tracked down and (2) I’m not interested in fetching stuff sent to abandoned buildings.
Threat model: surveillance capitalism, dragnet surveillance
Story: I do online shopping with various vendors who are not Amazon and would like to protect my information from businesses such as Shopify.
Current mail protections: Privacy.com cards, fake billing details, rental mailbox, unique email addresses, burner number
Regarding the mailbox: paperwork is required for all addressees. I’m unwilling to risk packages being rejected due to using an unlisted name.
Do you have experience with this use case or similar? I was thinking an LLC named something like Hamilton Jones LLC. Send packages to Hamilton Jones. To avoid weird tax situations, I would never use this specific LLC for anything financial.
Of course, some mail would need to be in my government name. Is it safe to use the share the same mailbox that I send LLC addressed mail to?
