What is a Digital Footprint?

 

If you are reading this, you are using the internet.  Each time you use the web, whether on a PC or your mobile device, you leave behind a footprint.

 

Common Sense Media puts it this way:

 

Filling out a form, sending an email to a friend, posting a photo, and pretty much everything one does online – even the simple act of visiting a website or using a search engine – leaves a trail. This trail, called a digital footprint, is made of bits and pieces of information on one’s computer and on other computers and servers around the world, which allow other people to learn about you.

 

Creepy, right? Understanding how your digital footprint is used, and why the information you put online matters, is essential in today's online world.  You can be a smart digital citizen.  Use this guide to explore more information about your digital footprint.
