This month, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is compiling a list of tips on how to minimise your online footprint. They add a tip each weekday. So far, they have written twelve out of twenty-two tips:
- Tip 1: Establish Good Digital Hygiene
- Tip 2: Learn What a Data Broker Knows About You
- Tip 3: Disable Ad Tracking on iPhone and Android
- Tip 4: Declutter Your Apps
- Tip 5: Disable Behavioral Ads on Amazon. [Don't shop on Amazon if you can help it; support local/national stores.]
- Tip 6: Install Privacy Badger to Block Online Trackers [Install Ghostery and other ad-blockers as well.]
- Tip 7: Review Location Tracking Settings
- Tip 8: Limit the Data Your Gaming Console Collects About You
- Tip 9: Hide Your Start and End Points on Strava [Don't use Strava; it tracks your activity and routes.]
- Tip 10: Find and Delete an Account You No Longer Use
- Tip 11: Search for Yourself
- Tip 12: Tell "People Search" Sites to Delete Your Information
You can find the full article link in the "Resources" section below. I'm going to keep an eye on the list and comment on it when it's complete (31st October, so I'll look at it again in the first week of November).
