How big is your digital footprint?

1. Digital Foot Print
Your in control of what people see of you
By: Gurpreet

2. Definition:
Digital Footprint is to describe the trail or ”footprint“ of data that a person
leaves online where other groups can collect information about you and your
digital presence.
You’re Traceable

3. Why is it Important?
• Every time you log in to any social media or website, searching something or
someone up on google you’re leaving a digital footprint that can be traced. Its scary
to think that anyone anywhere can know what you’re up too.
• If possible make as little amount of accounts on social media. Think about how
many times you’ve checked up other users, others are doing the same to you and
you don’t know who…..???
• Depending what kind of person you are, some post everything they do in a day,
people can trace where you are, its not safe!

4. How do I keep as small of a “footprint” as I
can?
• I have only 2-3 different social media accounts out of the 100’s out there. I
set my privacy levels as secure as possible. The only way someone can see
my profile is if I accept there friend request or accept there follow request.
• I don’t want random strangers or the public to be looking into my personal
life and what I do in my spare time, school or at work
• It does worry me that I could be traceable but all you can do is stay off the
web as much as possible, which is quite hard.
• I feel like websites try to increase there protection of privacy but its never
going to be perfect. I’m going to remain cautious of my Digital Footprint.

5. Stay Safe on the Web!!
