are online. It is all that the information about you that
you have posted online about yourself or other people.

Your digital footprint :

be shared widely
last a long time.
 PERSISTENT
We all make mistakes. It is a normal part of growing up. But our
online mistakes are persistent. This means they do not disappear
over time. It is important that we all look after our own and other
people’s digital footprints. It is very important to manage digital
footprint.
You can manage your digital footprint by :
• Thinking before you post
• searching for yourself sometimes so you can see what your digital
footprint might look like to other people
• Make sure your privacy settings are secured.
UNIT- 2.4 DIGITAL
PRIVACY
What is privacy ?
Privacy is being protected from being watched or listened to by
other people. The protection can be from individual people or
groups like companies.
DIGITAL PRIVACY
Privacy is complicated when you are online. Different apps and
websites collect information about what you type, what you are
interested in, your personal information, and how you move across
the internet.
When you use social media, you are often asked to create an
account. The company that owns and runs the software asks for
information about you. Companies use the information you give
them to advertise you, and to make money. You can connect with
other people on social media who have also given their information
to the company.
