Privacy tips
TL;DR 🙂
- Check social privacy settings - If you have social accounts, those networks have a lot of information about you, and you might be surprised how much of it is visible to anybody on the Internet by default.
- Evade tracking - When you visit a website, your browser discloses a bunch of stuff about you and your surfing history. Marketers use that information to profile you and target you with ads.
- Don’t use public storages for private information - Oversharing is not limited to social networks. Don’t use online services that are meant for sharing information to store your private data.
- Keep your main e-mail address and phone number private - Your reward for sharing your e-mail address and phone number? Tons of spam in your e-mail inbox and hundreds of robocalls on your phone.
- Use messaging apps with end-to-end encryption - Most modern messaging apps use encryption, but in many cases it’s what they call encryption in transit messages are decrypted on the provider’s side and stored on its servers. Use Signal. Thank me later.
