A digital footprint is the trail of data you leave behind as you interact online, similar to your digital reputation. It includes everything from websites you visit to comments you leave on social media. To protect your digital reputation, make your information and social media profiles private and think before posting anything online. That's great advice, Mikayla. Now let's talk about our digital footprint and protecting our digital reputation. Can you tell us what a digital footprint is first? Of course. Your digital footprint is everything you do and put on the Internet. It's the digital trail of data you leave behind as you interact online. Think of it like your digital reputation. Oh, so any websites I visit or anything I post on social media is included in my digital footprint? Yep, this includes everything from websites you visit to the comments you leave on social media. So I would again make sure that all your information and social media profiles are set to private. Make sure that you stop and think about any content you may want to post or send online in order to protect your digital reputation.
