How To Own Your Online Presence In 4 Simple Steps

As part of our #PrivacyAware series we want to talk about the well-being of your online presence and how it affects your privacy. The things you do online make an impact offline. Create a strong and positive reputation for yourself by following these simple steps:

1. Share With Care - Think before posting about yourself and others online. Consider what a post reveals, who might see it and how it could be perceived now and in the future. This becomes especially important when it comes to your business's online reputation.
2. Be Aware of What's Being Shared - Set the privacy and security settings on web services and devices to your comfort level for information sharing. It's OK to limit how and with who you share information.
3. Apply The Golden Rule Online - Post only about others as you have them post about you.
4. Personal info is like money. Value it. Protect it. - Information about you, such as your purchase history or location, has value--just like money. Be thoughtful about who gets that information and how it's collected through apps and websites. 

We love hearing from our readers and followers, join us online as we will be continuing the conversation on privacy and information security in honor of Data Privacy Day on January 28.
