I am intellectually mature enough to discern that you don't truly mean what you've said here. And equally appreciative of C-D moderation to also infer this as the frustration venting that it is, not denying us the opportunity to view it.

On the matter itself, I'm of the school of thought that this kind of PII sharing is outside of our control. There is no technical tool that I could think of which would prevent it.
Relying on other people to kindly refrain from sharing your information is almost always a losing game.
