LESSON 9
Privacy
Learning objective: Protect your personal privacy online.
Understand
Privacy is about controlling what others know about you.
Every app collects data. Reduce your footprint by sharing less, reviewing app permissions, using privacy settings, and thinking before posting. Data you never share cannot be leaked.
Analogy: Privacy settings are like curtains — you decide how much of your home is visible.
