Concerned with What Data Facebook Has Stored About You?
Summary
From online shopping to who knows what website you may visit; many web content providers are sharing your information with Facebook. As for other resources, EnigmaSoft published a blog with a great infographic detailing how your data is gathered and the process it goes through to reach the hands of whoever wants it. In addition, they explain Search Engine Tracking (storage of search queries), suggest utilizing some browsers’ Do Not Track feature (though companies are not required to honor this request), provide additional browser plugin options such as Ghostery and DisconnectMe, recommend opting out of information whenever available, and adjusting privacy setting on mobile devices. That said, and from my perspective, if privacy is huge for you, stay away from mainstream content and explore all settings options that you can in whatever product or service you use. Lastly, I wouldn’t directly suggest jumping to TAILS or the likes unless you’re dead set on not divulging any information about yourself onto the public Internet, but it sure sounds promising that it can make it that much more difficult to be tracked.
