As a #cybersecurity professional, I encourage privacy enthusiasts to use Apple's privacy feature that allows people hide their emails. Especially on sites they don't trust or for other reasons. It’s called HIDE MY EMAIL, available from iPhone, iPad and Macs. 
Imagine it as an additional layer of security even if you use a VPN (I'm assuming you know how that works). As it is currently an Apple-specific feature, other providers and browsers will follow suit as it typically happens in the tech-space.
When a user is filling out a form on a website on Apple devices, they get the option to add their usual email address or add a randomly generated one that then forwards messages to the actual address. The best part is that you don't even have to write it down in case you forget.
Once you click hide my email you’ll get an email immediately letting you know what that email is. You will always get responses to your actual email and only the company sees this 'proxy email'.
Sorry about the grainy picture. Here are the steps.
