It’s Time to Take Control of Your Data: 3 Easy Ways to Own Your Online Presence

You might be asking yourself what ‘taking control of your data’ really means or why it’s important. As the COO of Norton LifeLock, I often hear “I’ve got nothing to hide on my phone” and “I don’t care who sees my browser history." I quickly point to the 143 million Americans who were affected by cybercrime in 2017; that’s more than half of the U.S. adult online population.

The scariest part is that most people have no idea how much personal information they are giving away. We leave a trail of data whenever we visit a website, use an app, check email or play a game online. Browsers collect our search history, phones store the locations of places we go. This data has a high value.
