What information is safe for me to give when a website requires registration?

In terms of information that you provide for a website whether it's for registration, purchase or whatever, has to be evaluated based on who the company is or website you are providing this information for. If it's a well known brand, bank, store or some very legitimate company chances are you're probably fine providing whatever information it is they ask for. It's being encrypted and their privacy policy does not allow them to share that information with anyone else.If it's an unknown entity and you're giving out or are being asked to give out information such as your social security number, credit card number, phone numbers or addresses I would think twice about doing so. That could lead to identity theft, false charges, problems with your credit and a lot of things that you probably don't want to happen.
