    They could just look for names, then hash those names and compare them to your hashed name. So technically that don’t need to store your data, just hashes.

      I’m all for privacy but worrying about giving one of the most trustworthy companies around your name seems a bit much.

      You’d also have to give them your card details to pay for it.

      This would also require searching and indexing the entire system as opposed to searching it.
