There\u2019s information we post directly online such as our birth date, our location, our likes, and dislikes. Then there\u2019s the data that\u2019s given off unknowingly via web cookies, Metadata, downloads, and apps.<\/p>\n<p>While some <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/collection-1-data-breach\/\">data breaches<\/a> are out of our control, at the end of the day, we \u2014 along with our family members \u2014\u00a0are one giant data leak.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk\/2018\/11\/08\/childrens-commissioners-report-calls-on-internet-giants-and-toy-manufacturers-to-be-transparent-about-collection-of-childrens-data\/\">Studies show<\/a> that on average by the age of 13, parents have posted 1,300 photos and videos of their child to social media. By the time kids get devices of their own, they are posting to social media 26 times per day\u00a0on average \u2014 a total of nearly 70,000 posts by age 18.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When we overshare personal data a few things can happen. Digital fallout includes data misuse by companies, identity theft, credit card fraud, medical fraud, home break-ins, reputation damage, location and purchasing tracking, ransomware, and other risks.<\/p>\n<h2>The Mind Shift<\/h2>\n<p>The first step toward boosting your family\u2019s privacy is to start <em>thinking differently <\/em>about privacy. Treat your data like gold (after all, that\u2019s the way hackers see it). Guiding your family in this mind-shift will require genuine, consistent effort.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to your family about privacy. Elevate its worth and the consequences when it\u2019s undervalued or shared carelessly.<\/p>\n<p>Teach your kids to treat their personal information \u2014 their browsing habits, clicks, address, personal routine, school name, passwords, and connected devices \u2014\u00a0with great care. Consider implementing this <a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/family-safety\/family-privacy-online\/\">11 Step Privacy Take Back Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This mind and attitude shift will take time but, hopefully, your kids will learn to pause and think before handing over personal information to an app, a social network, a retail store, or even to friends.<\/p>\n<h2>Data Protection Tips*<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Share with care.<\/strong> Think before posting about yourself and others online. Consider what it reveals, who might see it and how it could be perceived now and in the future.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Own your online presence.<\/strong> Set the privacy and security settings on websites and apps to your comfort level for information sharing. Each device, application or browser you use will have different features to limit how and with whom you share information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Think before you act.<\/strong> Information about you, such as the games you like to play, your contacts list, where you shop and your geographic location, has tremendous value. Be thoughtful about who gets that information and understand how it\u2019s collected through websites and apps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lock down your login.<\/strong> Your usernames and passwords are not enough to protect critical accounts like email, banking, and social media. Strengthen online accounts and use strong authentication tools like a unique, one-time code through an app on your mobile device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>* Provided by the National Cyber Security Alliance <a href=\"https:\/\/staysafeonline.org\/about\/\">(NCSA)<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>January 28 National Data Privacy Day.<\/strong> The day highlights one of the most critical issues facing families today \u2014 protecting personal information in a hyper-connected world.
