Do freelancers on Upwork see the client's real name?

Question

Upwork

Good afternoon.
1) Does the freelancer see my first and last name when I created a job offer, published it and it hangs in ads?
2) Does the freelancer see my first and last name when I contacted the freelancer of my choice directly with a job offer?
3) Is it possible for me, as a customer, to indicate a fake surname? I know that freelancers need to provide real data. But what about customers?

>1) Does the freelancer see my first and last name when I created a job offer, published it and it hangs in ads?
No. The company name is shown.
>2) Does a freelancer see my first and last name when I contacted my chosen freelancer directly with a job offer?
You can see the first and last names in the chat, yes :)
>3) Can I, as a customer, specify a fake last name? I know that freelancers need to provide real data. But what about customers?
Officially, of course not. But in fact, nothing limits you. I have clients under completely fictitious names and this does not prevent them from working at all. A freelancer in case of a ban loses money. And the customer has nothing to lose.

Answer 2

What is it about wanting to hide them? what's the problem then?
