Synopsis "The Ask Leo! Guide to Online Privacy: Protecting yourself from an ever-intrusive world"
Privacy - A Thing Of The Past? The software on your computer can expose your information. - Learn what you need to do to reign it in. Your computer's hardware can expose your information. - Learn what you can set, change and configure to limit those leaks. Online services can expose your information. - Learn what you can do to protect yourself while using them effectively. Privacy - It's Complicated There's no avoiding the issue: privacy issues are scary, complex, and even somewhat mystifying. The Ask Leo! Guide to Online Privacy tackles these topics in terms you can understand. Using the plain language, examples, and comparisons that I've become known for, The Ask Leo! Guide to Online Privacy will help you understand what's at risk, what steps to take, and what to do when you're not sure. Collected from articles I've published on Ask Leo, The Ask Leo! Guide to Online Privacy addresses the pressing issues that people are asking about, and that experience shows are the most important aspects of keeping control over your information, and ultimately your privacy online. Privacy - Many Vulnerable Points On The Way At every point along the way you'll find software and hardware, and perhaps most importantly, people, who may have access to your information. Protecting yourself, while still being able to take advantage of today's technology, takes a little preparation. That's where The Ask Leo! Guide to Online Privacy comes in. We'll review exactly what's at risk, and what steps you need to take, to keep your privacy intact. Privacy - Are You Interesting? One of my most common statements when it comes to privacy is: "You're just not that interesting." That's true ... to a point. And it certainly doesn't mean you should let your guard down. It's too common to find out too late that something shared, something exposed, or something stolen was something you really didn't want to lose control over. And it is, all, about control: control of your information. And sometimes you are interesting. By knowing what it takes to protect yourself you'll be better able to make confident decisions about what actions to take, what services to use or avoid, and what to worry about as you navigate our exciting digital world.
