Finally, we will talk about how to protect yourself from companies taking your data. How to protect yourself from data gathering companies? If you don’t want companies harvesting your data, here are some ways to protect yourself. Number three, Turn on two-factor authentication for every one of your online logins. You can use one of the many authenticator apps available for mobile devices, or you can keep a physical security key on you. Passcodes are an additional step in the login process, but they might be the security measure that prevents malicious people from accessing your personal account information in the event of a data breach. Number two, Read the privacy policies on apps and websites. The most time-consuming phase, but the one that is important to understand how businesses can use your data. Watch out for anything that is unusual. (For example, a calculator app that records data on your health) And finally, number one, reject useless data gathering. You may often get away with missing important information about yourself from a company's webform since not all of the data provided is necessary. On many websites, you can choose not to accept cookies, and you can refuse some data requests made by programs without it negatively impacting your user experience. This concludes our presentation/video. Thank you for listening.
