How do we combat identity theft from companies that have been hacked?

I see too many news articles where big companies have been hacked and our private data as been copied. Email address, Date of Birth, Address, phone numbers etc.

Surely there must be a better alternative where we never have to share the personal information in the first place?

If anyone has any articles they can link me to reading, I would be quite interested.

Thanks 🙏
