• How many of you have…– Sent a message or posted a comment online?– Created a profile on a social network site?– Used some sort of photo-sharing app?– Googled your own name? Were there any results about you?

• 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 is called a digital footprint.– 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.
