Here are some ways to help protect your online privacy from websites and advertisers:
- Be aware of what personal information you provide on a website or app.
- Be aware of the types of tracking technologies used by websites and consider using an add-on to limit the information collected.
- Read the fine print. Many website terms agreements inform how your data will be used and your privacy rights.
- Use multiple email accounts for different websites or activities.
- Regularly change password, log out of accounts, and limit the number of accounts you use.
- Adjust privacy settings wherever possible.
- Be aware of possible scams and do your research before clicking on links.
