A separate email address
The single highest-value step and the least trouble. It stops an account from being findable through your main address and limits what a platform breach connects to you. Five minutes, permanent benefit.
Privacy in practice
Most adult chat now runs in a browser with nothing to install. That is good for privacy in one specific way and does nothing at all in several others, and the difference is worth knowing precisely rather than approximately.
A browser leaves nothing in your app list, produces no push notifications and asks for no permissions. If your concern is someone picking up your phone, that is the main threat and a browser handles it well. Close the tab and what remains is a history entry you can remove.
What a browser changes nothing about is the network. Your internet provider sees which domains you connected to. On a work or shared network, the operator sees the same. A private browsing window addresses your device and has no effect whatsoever on either — this is the most common misunderstanding in the whole topic.
The site itself sees your email, your IP address and your activity on it, exactly as every site you use does. No browser setting changes that, and no adult platform is unusual in this respect. Deciding what you are comfortable with is more useful than trying to be invisible.

Genuinely useful for the on-device trace and useless for anything beyond it. Worth using, worth not overestimating: it is a local history setting, not a network measure.
Moves the visibility of your traffic from your provider to the VPN operator. That is a real change if you distrust the first more than the second, and no change at all in what the site itself knows about you.
No. It only affects what is stored on your device. Your provider still sees which domains you connected to, and so does the operator of any shared network you use.
Generally not, and for this site specifically no — see the app page on why there is no APK and what the files claiming otherwise are.
Only if you tell it. It does have your email and IP address, which is true of every site you visit, adult or otherwise.
Not necessary. It changes who can see your traffic — your provider or the VPN company — rather than making you anonymous. Whether that trade is worth it depends on which you trust less.
Open it in a tab, look around, close the tab. That is the whole footprint.
