BIZARRE: Why it s time to delete your digital footprint | Mind Blowing Facts

Man using laptop and smartphone outdoors.

Imagine if someone followed you everywhere you went, listening to your conversations, tracking your movements and recording everything you read, said or bought. It'd be awful, and yet that happens every day online – often without your knowledge and sometimes without your permission. That's why it's really important to know about your digital footprint, and to control the information you're sharing online.

Your digital footprint is what's left behind whenever you do something online, such as visiting an online shop, using Google, posting a comment on social media and so on. Those things are recorded, and together they can create a very detailed picture of who you are, what you do and even what you think. That picture can be seen by marketers, potential employers and even potential partners – and it can be a goldmine for online criminals too. The good news is that Norton Anti-Track makes it easy for you to power up your privacy.
