Delete inactive accounts and apps you don’t use, which may still be collecting and sharing data. Keep all software, operating systems and apps that you do use up to date.

#DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy #PrivacyMatters #Data #DataProtection

[NCDIT @NCDIT]

Think before sharing info online. What you post lives on forever, and even if you have privacy settings in place on your social media accounts, your posts might be shared by others. Never take online quizzes that ask you to share personal information.

#DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy

[NCDIT @NCDIT]

Gen AI can be a helpful tool, but remember these systems learn from user inputs. Never share private info (personal, financial, or work data). AI models also often scrape data from the internet and may use information you share publicly online.

#DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy

[NCDIT @NCDIT]

Protecting your personal information starts with action. During Data Privacy Week, take charge of your data and stay secure. Learn more on our blog: https://t.co/YX23pnfstQ

[NCDIT @NCDIT]

Each device, app or browser we use has ways to limit what data is shared. Check these regularly and adjust them as needed. Visit https://t.co/TAwK4xiW2o to find out how to update settings on devices and services.

#DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy #PrivacyMatters #Data #DataProtection

[NCDIT @NCDIT]

Ask yourself why an app, game or company would need access to information that isn’t related to the service it provides. If you aren’t comfortable sharing, don’t use it. If you do use an app, turn off unnecessary features to limit what you share.

#DataPrivacyWeek #Privacy

[NCDIT @NCDIT]

Using an app, service or game may not be worth the amount or type of personal data you have to share in return. Take the time to review privacy policies, notices and user agreements, and make sure you are aware of and agree with how your information will be used.
