You're not accessing the sites for personal reasons, you're accessing the sites to perform a work activity - ergo, use your work email address.



Furthermore, some companies require verification of an account before activating it, which is usually done via a link sent to you in an email. If you specify your personal address, you have to access that in order to click the link and this is usually prevented or not allowed in a corporate setting.

    I agree that this is the right answer. However, in some cases like Oracle, I feel like account registration is just a way for them to gather personal information they do not need to have access to so I would use a throwaway e-mail account (search for 10 minutes mail). I do not trust them to follow my wishes regarding marketing e-mails and unsubscribe-ability.

    @TomášZato Even assuming you use SO only for things your employer requires you to, which seems unlikely, SO is providing a service to you. When you download software for business use from Oracle, they are licensing it in the context of that business. You can use SO from home, but you can't use software you got a business license for (or whatever) at home. Treat it like calling up a business partner and saying "Hi, this is Matt from <company>" versus "Hi, I'm a random interested person" -- which is more appropriate?

As suggested by the others, I would use a work-related mail.



However, I would suggest thinking ahead and don't use your personal work mail but one which is tied to your team or is set up especially for using to register at work-related websites. Something like developerteam@compayname.com.



This has the advantage that, if you leave the company its easy for someone to pick and use your accounts without the risk of exposing your emails.

    While it is a good point... I would not sign up a group email without permission of your team lead or manager. Especially regarding free stuff which each dev may need a license to to be compliant. Paid stuff (support incidents, etc.) is different - then you wouldn't use your own work account (use group account, manager's account, or team lead account).

    Our recommendation (I work for our org’s IT) is to create a purpose-specific email list (likely with just you as the only member) for each such interaction. Upon your separation, your manager can decide the disposition of your lists (assign to somebody, delete, etc). Use a good description.

    I second @JohnHascall's suggestion, that's what we do with accounts for all our service providers (web hosting, ISPs, ad networks, payment processors). Most of them redirect to our general operations alias, but we can customize them as needed, and people can write mail filters for them.

It all depends.



For something like StackOverflow I use my personal account as that is something that follows me from job to job.



If I'm registering something particular to my current position I used my work email.

    As a general rule, don't co-mingle work and personal accounts



    Use work accounts for work and setup separate personal accounts for personal use. Many many things can go wrong if you use personal accounts for work:





    1. It can lead to "whose account is it?" disputes: you own the account but the company relies on it and it may contain company data; whose is it now? Everyone's and no-one's. If you leave the company it's possible that the company (their lawyers) may demand that you provide them access to your account (I've read about this more than once on Stack Exchange). Are you okay with that? It's best to avoid this awkward and potentially legally complicated situation if you can.


    2. It can lead to data spills: are you prepared to lose years worth of personal emails because a service unexpectedly leaked proprietary company data to your personal email account (e.g. an automated Jira email contains a comment with legally-protected proprietary information)? What if a spill violates privacy or other laws (note: if you in any way work in healthcare or with the government or a government contractor this is especially important).


    3. It can lead to complicated hand-offs: are you going to give your personal password to the company when you leave the project or company? Probably not, so they will have some work to do if/when you leave, and in the meantime it will cause unnecessary hard feelings.


    4. It can put the company at risk if your account is hacked: suppose your personal account is hacked and used to try to exfiltrate company data (more common than you think), insert malware on the company network, or otherwise gain unauthorized access. Now it's "your fault" because it's your personal account. Not a fun situation to be in, and on top of it you may find yourself with a leak of confidential data into your personal account that has to be cleaned up (and possibly by your company, meaning turning over your credentials). There could be legal repercussions for the company and for yourself if the spill violates any laws.


    In summary, just don't do it.

      The sharp line is whether company assets and data will be involved



      ... And company assets and data should not be involved if the company hasn't authorized use of the site for those assets or data.



      Another way to think of this is, "when you leave, will the signup/login be part of the hand-off?" Or should your replacement really be getting their own account?



      As an example, StackExchange. If you are using the site for your professional edification, then the edification is for you the person since the lessons will remain in your brain.



      If you are only viewing or downloading assets that are free but behind a signup-wall, then signups are disposable and it's a tossup either way. Consider the nature of the account and its customizations, and revisit the question of whether, if you were replacing another person in a role, you would expect the account to be handed off to you.



      Other than any of that, I would tend to let accounts be personal.



      Don't let the web site decide. For instance if you set up a PayPal account for your company to accept Visa-MC, PayPal will keenly ask a bunch of questions about YOU, and will even demand your personal SSN. That does not make it your account obviously. (It may make it a bad choice of vendor, but PayPal does this because of Know-Your-Customer laws).

          I've faced this issue before and in my opinion it would be ok (or even best) to use your personal email for this.



          Multiple reasons for this:




          • You might need these tools, info, ... for personal use or for other
            projects where you might not have access to you work email.

          • You avoid any spam reaching your professional email.

          • You prevent the companies offering these tools from gathering data
            on/about your company, which may push them to reach out to it etc.

          • As there is no requirement from your company to use these, there
            is also none for you to connect your professional mail to them.


          Of course if you're not allowed to access any personal email or such then the above would not really matter

            There are reasons not to do so: it can lead to awkward "who owns" it questions that go away if you use work accounts, you could wind up having confidential work data leaked to your personal email which can be a no-no, it's hard to do a clean hand-off if you need to leave, and if your personal account gets compromised it can put your work network at risk which doesn't look good because it can be considered to be "your fault". If you're worried about being able to use those services outside of work, create two accounts.

            Upvoted because not everywhere is the same. Academia (where I work) is an extreme example of a blurring between personal and professional business (and personal email is never blocked in universities). Also in fields where people tend to move jobs fairly frequently maintaining a consistent web presence (or just keeping access to old materials) can mean having to use a personal address in some cases - but make that a fairly professional personal address. And exercise good judgement - don't make your personal email a corporate point of failure.

          I have a dedicated GMail-address for this name-work@gmail.com. I don't use this address for any personal stuff, just work related accounts, mailing lists and similar - that is, if my employer seizes my computer and gets access to this account they won't find anything interesting.



          However, this solution it is pretty useful because on your next work you might need an account at Oracle again and if you have used your @work-address the first time you signed up you probably need to re-register a new account.

            While all the other answers are clear cut, I can see why you’d hesitate. Take SE itself, for instance, the line between work and personal is blurred. What might start off as "work only" might transition to personal, too and vice versa. Why not use your "personal" rep to start a bounty to get a "work" question answered quickly?



            To account for that, I’d add that many sites have provision to change your registered email address (or merge accounts) should you (e.g.) leave your current company but wish to retain your membership. It’s in their best interests to keep members, too.



            But you should remember to do it while you still have access to both accounts, and remember to delete anything that isn’t explicitly your IP. While I don’t think anyone will come after you for a SE question, github and dockerhub are just about perfect places for unwitting IP leakage. It might be simpler just to start again.

              I suggest using your personal E-mail account because you may want to use the same site for personal reasons later on.



              Generally I use the company E-mail account only when the company specifically requires me to do so.




              My company doesn't require me to use these websites, I just want to register at them because some specific task asks for it, or just because I want to.




              As stated in your question, this is clearly not the case. Using your personal account is more appropriate.

                It depends on you company's policy and what websites / tools are we talking about.



                Personally I prefer to use a personal account for management tools, git repositories and other dev tools and websites I use unless I get specific instructions not to do so or if I am sure I will not use the account in case I leave.



                I will however not mix my personal account with my work email account, or a company PayPal account with my own.
                If we're talking about StackExchange (just as an example), I'd rather use my own account.

                  Are you supposed to transfer the account to your company when you left?



                  If yes, you should use a transferable work email.



                  If it's clear you should keep the account, you should use your personal email. Companies could have specific rules against this in every case. But a github account could have contributed to both company and personal repositories, and there is the flight mileage thing. I'll not assume anything the usual practice, and recommend you not, but clearly some companies are not against this. It may be even impractical to create and use company accounts on some shopping sites, unless you have the highest authority.



                  If nobody cares, it's likely the account will be permanently inactive. But if you don't think it belongs to you anymore anyway, better assume it belongs to your company. But don't think about that too much.



                  To be clear, I consider edu emails ambiguously personal or not, and will not discuss it in this answer.

You can use SO from home, but you can't use software you got a business license for (or whatever) at home. Treat it like calling up a business partner and saying "Hi, this is Matt from <company>" versus "Hi, I'm a random interested person" -- which is more appropriate?

                    You're not accessing the sites for personal reasons, you're accessing the sites to perform a work activity - ergo, use your work email address.



                    Furthermore, some companies require verification of an account before activating it, which is usually done via a link sent to you in an email. If you specify your personal address, you have to access that in order to click the link and this is usually prevented or not allowed in a corporate setting.

                      I agree that this is the right answer. However, in some cases like Oracle, I feel like account registration is just a way for them to gather personal information they do not need to have access to so I would use a throwaway e-mail account (search for 10 minutes mail). I do not trust them to follow my wishes regarding marketing e-mails and unsubscribe-ability.

                      While it is a good point... I would not sign up a group email without permission of your team lead or manager. Especially regarding free stuff which each dev may need a license to to be compliant. Paid stuff (support incidents, etc.) is different - then you wouldn't use your own work account (use group account, manager's account, or team lead account).

                      I'd be really, really hesitant to use a team email for that. That means on each communication, your entire team will get bothered. People usually don't take it lightly if fluff appears in their mailbox.

                      Our recommendation (I work for our org’s IT) is to create a purpose-specific email list (likely with just you as the only member) for each such interaction. Upon your separation, your manager can decide the disposition of your lists (assign to somebody, delete, etc). Use a good description.

                      While it is a good point... I would not sign up a group email without permission of your team lead or manager. Especially regarding free stuff which each dev may need a license to to be compliant. Paid stuff (support incidents, etc.) is different - then you wouldn't use your own work account (use group account, manager's account, or team lead account).

                      I'd be really, really hesitant to use a team email for that. That means on each communication, your entire team will get bothered. People usually don't take it lightly if fluff appears in their mailbox.

                      Our recommendation (I work for our org’s IT) is to create a purpose-specific email list (likely with just you as the only member) for each such interaction. Upon your separation, your manager can decide the disposition of your lists (assign to somebody, delete, etc). Use a good description.

                      I second @JohnHascall's suggestion, that's what we do with accounts for all our service providers (web hosting, ISPs, ad networks, payment processors). Most of them redirect to our general operations alias, but we can customize them as needed, and people can write mail filters for them.

                    It all depends.



                    For something like StackOverflow I use my personal account as that is something that follows me from job to job.



                    If I'm registering something particular to my current position I used my work email.

                            As a general rule, don't co-mingle work and personal accounts



                            Use work accounts for work and setup separate personal accounts for personal use. Many many things can go wrong if you use personal accounts for work:





                            1. It can lead to "whose account is it?" disputes: you own the account but the company relies on it and it may contain company data; whose is it now? Everyone's and no-one's. If you leave the company it's possible that the company (their lawyers) may demand that you provide them access to your account (I've read about this more than once on Stack Exchange). Are you okay with that? It's best to avoid this awkward and potentially legally complicated situation if you can.


                            2. It can lead to data spills: are you prepared to lose years worth of personal emails because a service unexpectedly leaked proprietary company data to your personal email account (e.g. an automated Jira email contains a comment with legally-protected proprietary information)? What if a spill violates privacy or other laws (note: if you in any way work in healthcare or with the government or a government contractor this is especially important).


                            3. It can lead to complicated hand-offs: are you going to give your personal password to the company when you leave the project or company? Probably not, so they will have some work to do if/when you leave, and in the meantime it will cause unnecessary hard feelings.


                            4. It can put the company at risk if your account is hacked: suppose your personal account is hacked and used to try to exfiltrate company data (more common than you think), insert malware on the company network, or otherwise gain unauthorized access. Now it's "your fault" because it's your personal account. Not a fun situation to be in, and on top of it you may find yourself with a leak of confidential data into your personal account that has to be cleaned up (and possibly by your company, meaning turning over your credentials). There could be legal repercussions for the company and for yourself if the spill violates any laws.


                            In summary, just don't do it.

                                    The sharp line is whether company assets and data will be involved



                                    ... And company assets and data should not be involved if the company hasn't authorized use of the site for those assets or data.



                                    Another way to think of this is, "when you leave, will the signup/login be part of the hand-off?" Or should your replacement really be getting their own account?



                                    As an example, StackExchange. If you are using the site for your professional edification, then the edification is for you the person since the lessons will remain in your brain.



                                    If you are only viewing or downloading assets that are free but behind a signup-wall, then signups are disposable and it's a tossup either way. Consider the nature of the account and its customizations, and revisit the question of whether, if you were replacing another person in a role, you would expect the account to be handed off to you.



                                    Other than any of that, I would tend to let accounts be personal.



                                    Don't let the web site decide. For instance if you set up a PayPal account for your company to accept Visa-MC, PayPal will keenly ask a bunch of questions about YOU, and will even demand your personal SSN. That does not make it your account obviously. (It may make it a bad choice of vendor, but PayPal does this because of Know-Your-Customer laws).

Consider the nature of the account and its customizations, and revisit the question of whether, if you were replacing another person in a role, you would expect the account to be handed off to you.



                                        Other than any of that, I would tend to let accounts be personal.



                                        Don't let the web site decide. For instance if you set up a PayPal account for your company to accept Visa-MC, PayPal will keenly ask a bunch of questions about YOU, and will even demand your personal SSN. That does not make it your account obviously. (It may make it a bad choice of vendor, but PayPal does this because of Know-Your-Customer laws).

                                        The sharp line is whether company assets and data will be involved



                                        ... And company assets and data should not be involved if the company hasn't authorized use of the site for those assets or data.



                                        Another way to think of this is, "when you leave, will the signup/login be part of the hand-off?" Or should your replacement really be getting their own account?

                                                    I've faced this issue before and in my opinion it would be ok (or even best) to use your personal email for this.



                                                    Multiple reasons for this:




                                                    • You might need these tools, info, ... for personal use or for other
                                                      projects where you might not have access to you work email.

                                                    • You avoid any spam reaching your professional email.

                                                    • You prevent the companies offering these tools from gathering data
                                                      on/about your company, which may push them to reach out to it etc.

                                                    • As there is no requirement from your company to use these, there
                                                      is also none for you to connect your professional mail to them.


                                                    Of course if you're not allowed to access any personal email or such then the above would not really matter

                                                      There are reasons not to do so: it can lead to awkward "who owns" it questions that go away if you use work accounts, you could wind up having confidential work data leaked to your personal email which can be a no-no, it's hard to do a clean hand-off if you need to leave, and if your personal account gets compromised it can put your work network at risk which doesn't look good because it can be considered to be "your fault". If you're worried about being able to use those services outside of work, create two accounts.

                                                      on/about your company, which may push them to reach out to it etc.

                                                    • As there is no requirement from your company to use these, there
                                                      is also none for you to connect your professional mail to them.


                                                    Of course if you're not allowed to access any personal email or such then the above would not really matter

                                                    I've faced this issue before and in my opinion it would be ok (or even best) to use your personal email for this.



                                                    Multiple reasons for this:




                                                    • You might need these tools, info, ... for personal use or for other
                                                      projects where you might not have access to you work email.

                                                    • You avoid any spam reaching your professional email.

                                                    • You prevent the companies offering these tools from gathering data
                                                      on/about your company, which may push them to reach out to it etc.

                                                    • As there is no requirement from your company to use these, there
                                                      is also none for you to connect your professional mail to them.


                                                    Of course if you're not allowed to access any personal email or such then the above would not really matter

                                                      I'd suggest that If you want to use the tools for personal use, then create a different personal account, at home, on your own computer - and keep separate from any work related activities.

                                                      There are reasons not to do so: it can lead to awkward "who owns" it questions that go away if you use work accounts, you could wind up having confidential work data leaked to your personal email which can be a no-no, it's hard to do a clean hand-off if you need to leave, and if your personal account gets compromised it can put your work network at risk which doesn't look good because it can be considered to be "your fault". If you're worried about being able to use those services outside of work, create two accounts.

                                                      Upvoted because not everywhere is the same. Academia (where I work) is an extreme example of a blurring between personal and professional business (and personal email is never blocked in universities). Also in fields where people tend to move jobs fairly frequently maintaining a consistent web presence (or just keeping access to old materials) can mean having to use a personal address in some cases - but make that a fairly professional personal address. And exercise good judgement - don't make your personal email a corporate point of failure.

                                                    Upvoted because not everywhere is the same. Academia (where I work) is an extreme example of a blurring between personal and professional business (and personal email is never blocked in universities). Also in fields where people tend to move jobs fairly frequently maintaining a consistent web presence (or just keeping access to old materials) can mean having to use a personal address in some cases - but make that a fairly professional personal address. And exercise good judgement - don't make your personal email a corporate point of failure.

                                                    I have a dedicated GMail-address for this name-work@gmail.com. I don't use this address for any personal stuff, just work related accounts, mailing lists and similar - that is, if my employer seizes my computer and gets access to this account they won't find anything interesting.



                                                    However, this solution it is pretty useful because on your next work you might need an account at Oracle again and if you have used your @work-address the first time you signed up you probably need to re-register a new account.

Take SE itself, for instance, the line between work and personal is blurred. What might start off as "work only" might transition to personal, too and vice versa. Why not use your "personal" rep to start a bounty to get a "work" question answered quickly?



                                                            To account for that, I’d add that many sites have provision to change your registered email address (or merge accounts) should you (e.g.) leave your current company but wish to retain your membership. It’s in their best interests to keep members, too.



                                                            But you should remember to do it while you still have access to both accounts, and remember to delete anything that isn’t explicitly your IP. While I don’t think anyone will come after you for a SE question, github and dockerhub are just about perfect places for unwitting IP leakage. It might be simpler just to start again.

Companies could have specific rules against this in every case. But a github account could have contributed to both company and personal repositories, and there is the flight mileage thing. I'll not assume anything the usual practice, and recommend you not, but clearly some companies are not against this. It may be even impractical to create and use company accounts on some shopping sites, unless you have the highest authority.



                                                                                    If nobody cares, it's likely the account will be permanently inactive. But if you don't think it belongs to you anymore anyway, better assume it belongs to your company. But don't think about that too much.



                                                                                    To be clear, I consider edu emails ambiguously personal or not, and will not discuss it in this answer.

                                                                                        Are you supposed to transfer the account to your company when you left?



                                                                                        If yes, you should use a transferable work email.



                                                                                        If it's clear you should keep the account, you should use your personal email. Companies could have specific rules against this in every case. But a github account could have contributed to both company and personal repositories, and there is the flight mileage thing. I'll not assume anything the usual practice, and recommend you not, but clearly some companies are not against this. It may be even impractical to create and use company accounts on some shopping sites, unless you have the highest authority.



                                                                                        If nobody cares, it's likely the account will be permanently inactive. But if you don't think it belongs to you anymore anyway, better assume it belongs to your company. But don't think about that too much.



                                                                                        To be clear, I consider edu emails ambiguously personal or not, and will not discuss it in this answer.
