Mail

Email is a common way for companies to track your activities. Use an email provider that supports privacy features, like ProtonMail. Consider using a temporary email address for one-time registrations.

Browsing

Your browser can track your activities across the web. Use a web browser with strong privacy protections, like Firefox or Tor. Disable third-party cookies and trackers to limit data collection.

Messaging

Messaging apps often track your conversations. Use messaging apps that support end-to-end encryption, like Signal. Don't share sensitive information in group chats.

Operational Security (OpSec)

Operational security involves protecting your systems and networks from unauthorized access. Be mindful of the information you share online, including on social media. Regularly update your devices and software to protect against vulnerabilities.

Social Media

Social media platforms often track your activities. Limit the amount of personal information you share on these platforms. Enable privacy settings to control who can see your posts and personal information.

Mobile Devices

Mobile devices can collect a lot of data about your activities. Use privacy-focused apps and enable location services only when necessary. Regularly review the permissions granted to apps.

Passwords

Use strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts. Consider using a password manager to securely store your passwords. Regularly update your passwords and enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.

Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. Even if someone gets your password, they still need the second factor to gain access.

VPNs

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic, preventing third parties from monitoring your online activities. Choose a reliable VPN provider and always connect to a VPN when using public Wi-Fi.

Safe Browsing

Be careful when browsing the web. Don't click on suspicious links or download files from unknown sources. Regularly update your antivirus software to protect against threats.
