The First 3 Steps You Should Take To Erase Your Digital Footprint
Delete old and unused online accountsMake a comprehensive list of all the accounts you have opened over the years (including forgotten email addresses, social media, shopping, and forum accounts). Systematically delete or deactivate every one that you no longer actively use. If you cannot delete an account, change all personal details to random, non-identifiable information.Remove personal information from websites and search resultsSearch for your name on Google and other search engines. If you find sensitive information (like your address, phone number, or photos), reach out to each website’s administrator and request removal. Additionally, submit takedown requests directly to Google and other search engines to remove your information from their results. Websites in California and Europe are legally required to honor such requests in many cases.Opt out of data broker and people search sitesLocate your details on data broker platforms (such as PeopleFinder, Spokeo, Whitepages) and follow their opt-out procedures to have your data removed. There are also paid services that automate this process if you prefer not to handle it yourself.Following these steps will not guarantee complete erasure, since some data is beyond your control, but they will dramatically reduce your online exposure and help you regain control of your digital privacy
