MYÂ DIGITALÂ FOOTPRINTÂ FINDINGS
I have done several searches online about myself to see what information exist on the internet about me. There was only one social media account that I found and that was my facebook account. I also came across severals websites with scraps of information collected over the years leaving a digital footprint under my name, but these were all personal information. These information included private information such as past/ present address, phone number, emails and relatives. I don't have much information about myself online, resulted from not being an overly active social media user. I am a private personal and for the most part my digital footprint displays that.
EVIDENCE
Result from my online search when I typed my full name that represented me.
WHAT Â HAVE I LEARNED
Active digital footprint is information we share voluntarily online, like posting on social media.
Our information is being collected and stored without our knowledge both personal and public.
Information is collected automatically from web activity, and the system auto-generates similar interest.
Not all data collected online are factual, which can create a false narrative.
Even after deleting data off the web, sometimes it leaves a trial on additional websites.
