Data Privacy Day
Every January 28th
is Data Privacy Day. The National Cybersecurity Alliance has tips on how to control
your privacy settings for all your online applications such as your e-mail, location
services, banking, search engines, and more. It is recommended to clear your
search history from your electronic devices. Clear your search history every
time you use the internet. Also, before you search online, you can browse in
privacy or incognito mode.
Another way to be safe
online is by checking that the website has a lock. Make sure the website begins
with a Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (https) which helps identify a secure
website. Delete any applications that you no longer use on your cellphones.
Remove any linked electronic devices from your e-mail privacy settings. Check
your e-mail privacy settings and watch for anything that does not look correct.
Look for any suspicious
activity in your e-mail privacy settings such as the times and locations of
when the e-mail was last opened. Change your passwords frequently. Always clear
computer cookies after using the internet. Close the websites that you use to
log in. Here are more resources about data privacy.
