I feel weird using my PSN account because the birth date on it is wrong… I tried to tell Sony this, but they said they couldn’t change it

If you’re in the EU, they have to correct your personal information. Threaten to report them to your local privacy authority if they don’t.

If they’re as incompetent as they sound they’d have to change it manually and assuming you could make them do that it would probably break something in the account. 😄 There’s no good way to do this if it was badly put together.

So every company you give info to is responsible to catch every one of your lies? That sounds hard.

No, but they have to update your info if you want to change it.

That’s probably a good thing. I generally put different information into every service. If you keep track of who you told what, you can use that information later. If you receive spam from somewhere random, but they use the name you gave Sony, you can say “oh so Sony sold my data to you…”

Sony has been part of at least one major data leak. They don’t have to tell anyone since all of their data already is on the internet.
