Here are a few steps you can take to protect your information when using internet-connected public services:

1. Read Privacy Policies: Be sure to read the privacy policies for any services you use. Check to see what information is stored, how it is used, and how your information will be shared.
2. Choose Secure Passwords: Use strong and secure passwords and change them regularly. Always avoid using the same passwords for more than one service.
3. Protect Your Devices: Make sure to protect all of your devices with passwords, encryption, and other security measures.
4. Use Virtual Private Networks: Consider using a virtual private network (VPN) to securely connect to public services and other networks.
