Can a hidden email address be traced?
If a ”hide my email” is used to send an email or to sign up for a social media account, can you still find out their real name or what email address it directs to (i.e the real address)?

The iCloud+ Hide My Email feature provides the means with which to provide an anonymised email address to a third-party. The only information that can be directly inferred is that the address is linked to an Apple iCloud+ subscriber - as this Apple service is only available to subscribers.
Email sent from or to a Hide My Email address cannot be directly linked to your real email address. You should, however, be careful to ensure that you don’t inadvertently disclose information that might reveal your true identity.
