While it may not be too difficult to protect your privacy in the physical world, it is much harder to protect yourself online. Your “digital footprint,” or the bits of useful information about yourself in the online world, is spread far and wide.
To make it worse, there is an endless amount of people who actively work on gathering any information about you that they can get their hands on. In some cases, they know more about you than even you do.
Some of these people are online criminals. Others are in the business of making money off your information. Either way, it’s up to you to protect yourself online.
