We spend hours online every day, but how often do we "clean up" our digital footprints? Staying safe in 2024 isn't about complex passwords anymore—it's about habits. Here are three simple things you can do today:

1. Stop the "Upload Habit": Before you upload a file to a random website (for conversion, resizing, or editing), check if there is a local alternative. Keeping your files on your hard drive is the #1 way to prevent data leaks.
2. Clear Your Cache Weekly: Your browser remembers everywhere you’ve been. Clearing your history and cookies once a week keeps trackers from building a "profile" on you.
3. Check Your Permissions: Go into your phone settings and look at which apps have access to your "Photos" or "Location." You'll be surprised how many apps are watching you for no reason.

Privacy isn't a setting you turn on; it's a way of moving through the digital world. Start small, and stay safe!
