Your DigitalFootprint..

Your online life; as permanent

as a tattoo.

What is your ‘Digital Footprint’?

• Your digital footprint is everything on the internet that is about you.

• This could be Any Social Media Accounts,Any blogs you’ve written,Photographs you are in, etc.

You are being monitored..

Every time we >Sign up for one of those online services, >Click a ‘Like' button, >Are tagged in a photo, >Comment on our social media of choice..

The internet knows a lot about us!

You can trace what it knows in asimple way.

1. Google “Your Name” in speech marks, and turn the time range button to the ‘last year’.

You will see everything a future employer etc will see about you.

In this day and age there is the possibility

that the things we share or experience will

follow us relentlessly throughout our whole

lives, which can cause possible

implications on the jobs or financial services

open to us in years to come.

We need to understand how to control the information about us that people are able to see.

Facebook:

>You should click on Privacy Settings.

>Under ‘Who can see my stuff? Make sure that the setting is Friendsrather than Public.

>In the left hand navigation pane you'll also see an option for Timeline& Tagging.

>Click on this then repeat the process for ‘Who can see things on my timeline?’

Google+, Twitter, and LinkedIn all have similar options.

Visit them and check that they are also not on the ‘public’ settings.

It’s a good way to ensure that the risque remark made after a few drinks and a bad day doesn't become something that follows you around.

Now... Watch where you step!
