Facebook is becoming more and more popular with the kind of apps it
provides. Right now, Facebook serves more than a million apps and
many of these apps will access your personal information in order to
access them. Although accessing the personal information couldn’t be
avoided, you can avoid providing your actual email address to the app
you access.
TIP:How To Remove Facebook News Ticker & Set Up Layout
For example, if you would like to play CityVille or Mafia Wars or any of the app/game on Facebook, you will be required (yeah it is mandatory) to share your email address with the developer. Sharing your personal email can be avoided by changing the settings. When you click to sign-up for the app, click on “change” which is under “send me email” and Facebook will offer you a new anonymous proxy email to share with the app developer.
Although all messages sent to that anonymous email will still reach your personal email inbox, your real email address will stay hidden and safe. In case you stop using the app/game and remove the app from your Facebook profile, the proxy email address provided by Facebook will be deleted.
