This includes:
- Primary information shared directly. Primary information refers to information you have shared to access services or posted on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, emails, phone calls, and chats for example. This involves personal identifiable, sensitive, or other information you have shared to access services.
- Secondary information gathered through your activities. This is information that you have not shared directly. It’s often related to your online activities such as browsing, purchasing, website visits and searches. It can be collected without you knowing, perhaps as a result of other people sharing information.
What can we do to control the information we share?
- Google your name. See what comes up, is anything surprising?
- If you have Facebook, download your profile using this guide.
- If you have Twitter, download your profile using this guide.
- If you have Twitter, check your secondary footprint: compare what you’ve shared/deleted on Twitter to what is available about you - possibly from others’ sharing.
