Many servers supposedly reward you in the server for voting daily. They give you a link to vote in many places, but those places, I have noticed, require you to enter your username. I understand the server would need your username in order to reward you, but the third party sites' privacy policies are practically empty. There is no statement regarding for how long do they store the information, some don't tell you whether or not they sell that information, whether they share it or not, whether the ads on their website allows the publisher to inject javascript or other codes to read the page's content and gather themselves any other data. If they do specify that they allow advertisers to use javascript or other technologies to gather information in their pages, you are told to check their privacy policy. Which is ludicrous because the number of third parties displaying ads on their pages can be a lot and you would have to open the page first, see the ads which will gather unknown information about you, and then you can later visit them and review their privacy policies. For nothing because they already gathered your information before you could review anything.
Because I don't understand how Mojang accounts work, I don't know if anyone can use your username for anything that might have negative effects on your account.
Onto the main questions: Is there any danger in giving your minecraft username to third party sites? Can it negatively affect the person who bought the account from Mojang? Or is there no way anything bad could happen from someone having your minecraft username stored in a database indefinitely and linked to other unknown information gathered in the page?
You Should Be Fine As Long As Your Password Is More Complex Than The Minecraft Account Bot Programs' Default Passwords (eg. "shadow" or "12345"). You Would Have No More Security Not Voting Because People Can Just Scan A Server's Usernames By Joining It And Using The Account Bot Program While You Are On That Server.

Got that. Thanks.
