Digital footprint refers to the trail of data that is generated by a person's online activities and can be traced on the internet. It includes information collected from social media use, internet searches, emails, and other digital activities. Managing one's digital footprint is important because current and future employers, friends, family, and other third parties may be able to access information to learn more about an individual. It is important to be aware of what personal details are shared online and to understand how to curate one's online presence through privacy settings and limiting accessible information.
