Understanding Online Privacy Risks

Your digital footprint creates a profile that companies and potentially malicious actors can use. Common risks include identity theft, targeted scams, and unauthorized data collection.

Key Privacy Threat Areas:

Browser tracking: Ad networks build detailed profiles of your interests
Weak authentication: Compromised credentials lead to account takeovers
Public WiFi: Unencrypted connections expose your activity
Data brokers: Companies buy/sell your personal information

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this privacy assessment?

This calculator provides a general estimate based on your self-reported behaviors. Actual risk depends on many factors including your specific online activities and the security measures you've implemented.

What's the most common privacy mistake?

Password reuse across multiple accounts is the most widespread issue. Using a password manager and enabling two-factor authentication significantly improves your protection.

How often should I check my privacy settings?

Review privacy settings on all accounts at least twice a year. Social media platforms frequently change their settings, often defaulting to less private options.

Are free VPNs safe for privacy?

Most free VPNs compromise privacy by logging and selling your data. If you need a VPN, invest in a reputable paid service with a clear no-logging policy.

How can I remove my data from broker sites?

Many data brokers offer opt-out procedures, but the process varies by company. Services like DeleteMe can automate this process for you.
