Your digital footprint is everything you leave behind online. And unlike footprints in the sand, these don’t wash away.
In South Africa, where cybercrime is rising sharply, understanding and controlling your digital footprint is essential — for protecting both personal and business information.
Review your social media privacy settings
Things change in December holidays — new devices, more posting, more sharing.
January is the perfect time to tighten visibility.
Check what personal data is stored online
Your cloud apps might be storing more than you think:
Photos, scanned documents, ID copies, financial statements, passwords.
Review old subscriptions
Subscription sites often store card details and login information.
If you’re not using them, cancel and delete.
Google yourself
What appears publicly?
Photos? Contact details? Business information?
Adjust accordingly.
Check if your accounts were in a breach
Use a trusted breach-checker to see if your email or phone number was compromised.
