Safe Guard your data in Internet

Dear Readers,

I am sure in this current internet era, we atleast sign up one service a month on the internet. That means another exposure of your personal data. How do you safe guard your personal identify on the internet, below are some tips.

1.Read privacy policies before you sign up. Although you have little control over what happens to data, you can at least know what gets collected and retained.

2.Avoid identifying information in user IDs, such as a first initial and full last name. Choosing a moniker that avoids any reference to your name, job or other personal attributes can make tracking more difficult.

3.Don't use the same user ID across multiple services. For example, if a user ID is attached to a message board posting that includes your full name, even if the ID itself does not contain your real name, it's now tied to your name when used elsewhere.

4.Use anonymizing software such as Tor. Such systems relay data packets through many servers to help mask the numeric Internet Protocol address identifying your computer.

Hope this Helps,
Thank you, Readers
