How do you protect your identity and your data on the internet?

Each of us leaves a digital footprint on the internet. The only difference is how much data and information we share publicly about ourselves.

For example, my local friend doesn't use his photo or name on his profiles so that no one will associate him too much with his income or political ideology.

When you're trying to build a personal brand, you're revealing quite a bit about yourself compared to someone who's "recreationally" consuming content.

I have been building my personal brand for over 5 years (just switched markets), and it is very difficult to be transparent but also have privacy at the same time.

• How do you protect your identity and privacy on the internet? 🔐

• What (not) to share when you are trying to build a personal brand or you are about to become a "public person"?

• Question for companies: What are you doing to increase the security of your users' data?

I would say that the most rewarding part of building a personal brand is sharing the results of your work.

I definitely wouldn't want to share my network (friends and family members in my physical environment).

My general rule is, don't do anything stupid, and you'll be fine.
