MaskMe essentially creates a dummy account that forwards one bit of personal information to another. So, if you use MaskMe to create an email address, it creates a fake one so you can register at a web site, and then forwards emails to your real one. This way, no service has all of your data in one place. The same basic process also works for phone numbers and credit card numbers, but you'll need to pay a $5/month fee to use those services. If you sign up for a lot of different services, the email masking alone is worth it, and if you're a bit spender online, the disposable credit card number may be worth that $5 premium.
