Data Privacy Day: Take Control of Your Data

Data Privacy Day is the perfect time to take charge of your personal information and protect it from cyber threats. This year’s theme, “Take Control of Your Data,” encourages you to safeguard your digital footprint.

Quick Tips to Protect Your Privacy

• Think Before You Share
  When apps or websites request access to your data—like location or photos—ask yourself: Is this convenience worth sharing my personal information? If not, say no. Be selective and protect your data.
• Adjust Privacy Settings
  Review your device settings to see how much information you're sharing. Err on the side of caution and limit unnecessary access.
• Audit Your Apps
  Haven’t used an app in six months? Delete it. Unused apps can pose privacy risks.
