According to a survey conducted in December 2019, almost 33 percent of Japanese smartphone and tablet users aged 70 years and above had disclosed their telephone number, such as as their cell phone or landline telephone number, online. The share of people who shared their phone number on the internet was much lower among the younger generations. A breakdown of all surveyed types of information showed that the most commonly disclosed information among respondents was the user's gender.
