This is a personal feeling, but I think you need to take care when giving the information, especially with companies you don't know a whole lot about.

I lie if it is information that is required but I don't feel that they need. Rarely do I ever write my true phone number (why do they need that?). I have also solved the address problem by renting a PO box at the post office. If there is material they need to send me, then it gets to me, but not at my home address. I never give out my real birthday (again, why do they need that?) and never my social security number unless I have reasearched the site thoroughly and have confidence in it.
