#privacy enthusiasts, how do you deal with celebrating your birthday? it's sensitive information of course, so do you just not share it? make up a 'fa...

It depends on why and to what degree you want to make this specific fact private. Depends on what you are risking if the fact leaks out. What are you risking in the potential future as well. Descartes Square might partially help with the decision if you're looking for an abstract tool.

Many people are pseudo-anonymous online, but it doesn't mean they don't have a close circle of people they trust, who care about boundaries, care which facts are okay to share or not.

My uncle always kept his birthday a secret. Only a few family members know it, probably accidentally. But his reason is innocent: if I remember right, he doesn't like when people give him presents.

I prefer to keep my birthday a secret as well, partially for a similar reason, but I think I'm not risking very much if it leaks out. I'm actually not even pseudo-anonymous; I chose different privacy boundaries.

I don't celebrate my birthday because I can't perceive it as some achievement. It felt very much like an achievement in the past; it will likely feel like an achievement in the future, but right now I perceive other things more valuable to celebrate than birthdays.
