You'll get notifications when your info has been part of a data breach. I've been in seven (that are known about).
After about the third one, I went through my password manager account by account, identified any accounts I was no longer using, logged in and deleted them, and then sent the sites California Consumer Privacy Act data removal requests. This minimizes my attack surface, i.e. it reduces the number of potential attack points and reduces the data available to attackers if a breach happens. It also sets me up in a good legal position if the info is not removed despite me asking the site to do so, is subject to a breach and subsequently causes me some identifiable harm.
It's kind of annoying, but I try to use Apple's Hide My Email function whenever I can, plus intentionally contaminate non-essential data (e.g. I use fake birthdays and gender, fake location).
