RealID itself with the facebook connection (so that you can't be sure that nothing is send to them even if you don't like it), the missing privacy settings (characters, friends-of-friends, ...), login-email and the possibility for addons to get the information has too much conceptional flaws for me, so I won't use it.
I hope it's possible to hook into the API functions so that you can modify them to return fake strings. Does anybody knows if that's possible (don't have active account)?

Addons run in a sandbox environment so unless you provide that information to your addons it simply isn't there. WoW does not allow addons to access anything outside of the sandbox. And I'm fairly certain that RL info is not provided through API functions.
