Hopefully people haven't used their work e-mail or an e-mail with their name in it.

No definitely not good. If the site gets compromised the hacker can get hold of your personal details. If you gave your name and birth date and your main e-mail address it's not good. Technically they could get your IP address, which could also give away where you work or live, though I doubt a hacker would bother with that. I made sure not to give personal details and my main e-mail. I also made sure my password wasn't something I use at other sites.
