I would suggest having an example web-page somewhere as and when possible
before the official reconfirmation message goes out (whenever that happens) so
we know how much information would be leaked.

As far as e-mail address and mobile number masking is concerned, just the first
four number themselves give lot of info.

For instance see India's mobile telephone numbering system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_telephone_numbering_in_India

Just the first four numbers themselves tells anybody both my operator and the
region from where I belong. I dunno about other countries but probably each may
have a different numbering system, how do we ensure that people who might be ok
with partially masked numbers do not give more than intended ?

for email addresses, the same thing how would those be partially masked ?

Looking forward to answers.
