Learn what counts as personal information, how your digital footprint can last, why oversharing is risky, and how to use privacy settings and a think-before-you-post habit to stay safe.
What you’ll learn
Personal information is anything that identifies you; harmless-looking pieces add up into a profile.
Your digital footprint can be permanent: screenshots and reposts mean "delete" is not always forever.
Oversharing your school, schedule, or live location can tell strangers where to find you.
Protect yourself with privacy settings, careful app permissions, and a would-I-want-this-public-forever check before posting.
