DIGITAL FOOTPRINT: Stop Being Tracked and Profiled on the Internet

Learn about some free tools and how to use them and some simple steps you can take to dramatically reduce or stop the tracking and profiling of your internet and email activities. There are almost two hundred companies now that are profiting by collecting any and all information they can about you, or even your kids innocently using the internet, email, and texting. Secretly watching your web surfing habits, scouring your emails to learn what you like and do, storing this information, packaging it, selling it for a profit-- sometimes to identity thieves masquerading as companies, perhaps sharing it with the government. Doing this by working in concert with the search engines you use, with most websites, with free email services you use. Every search you do, hyperlinks you click, what you peruse on online shopping sites, movies you watch online, what you download, photos you upload (that can now be scanned for content including facial recognition to identify persons in photos), and more. Much of the tracking in somewhat anonymous but much of it is not. Does it matter if your browsing and shopping habits are tracked? Maybe not, if you like having ads targeted to you in a more personalized manner. But maybe it does matter, if your profile is shared and sold with insurance companies (so that you pay higher rates or are outright denied insurance), shared with current or prospective employers, shared with airline security (TSA) perhaps slowing down your travel plans, shared with credit card companies that might customize the interest rate you pay on your credit card or home mortgage-- to your disadvantage, or shared with government agencies. Information on you sold and shared, where it could all be used against you as you seek to get a job or be promoted. And this does not involved only you-- when social networks and email services track what you do and who you interact with, now your friends and family become part of the insanity, the widespread tracking and profiling. In this eBook I will share with you a number of quick and easy steps you can do to start putting the brakes on your being tracked and profiled. Your eyes will be opened and you will start seeing just how widespread the forces are that have aligned to follow your every movement on the internet, what you write in email, who you interact with-- but you can take control and put a stop to it, today.
