Photos reveal more than the image itself
Metadata can include the time, device and exact location where a photo was taken, even though this information is not visible in the image.
[ Digital privacy in everyday life ]
The internet remembers more than you knowingly tell it. Take control of what your devices, apps and accounts reveal about you.
Your digital footprint is more than public posts. Your location, IP address, photo metadata, searches, app permissions and connections between your phone and social media also reveal information about you. This training shows which changes make sense and which tools match your actual level of risk.
[ Your everyday digital footprint ]
We do not lose our privacy in one decision. We give it away piece by piece.
Individual pieces of data may seem harmless. Combined, however, they form an accurate picture of our habits, relationships, movements and working lives.
Apps connect data across services
Contacts, location, identifiers and activity enable detailed profiling and personalized content and advertising.
Private browsing does not mean anonymity
It limits local history on your device but does not automatically hide traffic from the network, your provider or the service you visit.
A secure tool can fail because of poor settings
Encryption or a trusted app will not help if profiles remain public, permissions are excessive or backups are unsecured.
[ Training outcomes ]
Participants will understand their digital footprint and be able to reduce it in practice.
