    Study Notes

    Digital Footprint

    • Every time you go online, you leave a trail, revealing where you've been, how long you stayed, and what you've been doing.
    • This digital footprint can be accessed and revealed when you register for an online service, send an email, download a video, or upload a photo.

    Taking Care of Your Digital Footprint

    • Log off when leaving a website, especially on shared computers, to prevent others from pretending to be you.
    • Keep passwords secret, complex, and avoid writing them down in obvious places. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks.
    • Report upsetting, anxious, or concerning online content to an adult, and web managers will respond rapidly.
    • Use the history button and bookmark function to remember favorite websites, and clear browser history regularly.
    • Use a nickname instead of your real name when posting comments online, and use a picture instead of a real photo to protect your identity.
    • Protect your identity online by following these guidelines.
