🔑 Privacy

Why is Online Privacy Important?

Privacy is your right. Technology has improved, and so have laws regarding internet privacy. Whenever you’re online, websites aren’t allowed to store your private information without your permission. In cases where your information is stored, such as on Amazon, these websites aren’t allowed to share that information with third parties.
Many privacy rights extend to social media. Any information posted on social media can’t be shared without your permission and can’t be used in any way other than what you’ve consented to. Permission is everything. Even information posted publicly is protected by you.
Many countries have implemented Online Erasure, which eliminates harmful content & digital trails. This is especially useful in protecting minors.
It’s your right, but you must be active in ensuring that right is enforced. Practicing your privacy rights protects you—especially online, where the concept of privacy often seems nonexistent.
