What is your digital footprint?
Common Sense Media describes your digital footprint as:
Digital Footprint: All of the information online about a person either posted by that person or others, intentionally or unintentionally
In other words, you create your footprint t h rough you r on l i ne ac t i v i t i e s and communications you post about yourself and others.
How to manage your digital footprint:1. Guard your privacy-set accounts to privacy
settings.
2. Keep your personal details private. Ask your parents before giving out any personal details online.
3. Understand that nothing is private online.
4. Don’t post things you do not want others to know and wouldn’t say to their face. Apply the “Golden Rule”.
5. Don’t share your passwords and change them often. (Always lock your phone-don’t give anyone open access to your accounts.)
6. Talk to an adult if something is bothering you about any online activity!
