Maintain Online Privacy. How to do that?

   One of the big issues of online activities is to maintain a right balance of information that is voluntarily shared with information that is not shared. However, there is a general agreement or baseline which tells us what is private information. This baseline would contain recommendations like donot share private telephone number; do not share primary email id etc etc.

    This perceived privacy posture may vary from person to person. The privacy settings and features on many sites and applications are provided in a elaborated fashion these days. But these keep changing very often and it is very difficult for a user to keep track and manage them. Therefore what one needs do is follow three simple rules:

    Rule 1: Initially assume everything is private information


    Rule 2: Always share or post only when required and only with few(required)
                  people

    Rule 3: Remove, rename, modify all information that can be traced to you,
                   identify   you  or identify your activities.
