What stays private online
A contest form asks for your favourite colour. Then it asks for your school and address.
Step 1 of 4
- Two lists: fine to share, and keep private.
- A colour and a favourite team go in "fine to share."
- A full name, school, and address go in "keep private."
- Those three could help a stranger find you.
Keep facts that could help a stranger find you private.
Personal information is a fact that could help a stranger find you. Your full name, school, address and phone number are personal information. So are photos that show your street. A favourite colour, team or food is not.
Everything you post becomes part of your digital footprint. A digital footprint is the trail you leave online.
Sort each fact. Share it, or keep it private?
