You can also put the name in the email as a plus email: your email+[put company name here]

Another trick, if you use Gmail is to put the email address as user+thebastard
@gmail
.com This way it ends up in your inbox and is immediately identifiable and you can filter on it

I own my email domain. Email addresses that are not specifically setup all go one general account. For example: Sign up for nytimes[.]com. Use the email name nytimes
@mydomain
[.]com. Anything that comes in addressed to nytimes
@mydomain
[.]com and is not from nytimes is a scam.

I read once that you can create an email with
DomainName+YourGmail
So then you would know who sold your data
But never tried so can’t confirm it would work
