DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

A digital footprint is the permanent record of your online

activities and interactions. It consists of all the information
you create and leave behind while using the Internet - much
like leaving footprints in wet concrete that harden over time.

Key Examples of Digital Footprints:

Here are some common examples of digital footprints:
Social media trail: The photos you share on Instagram, the videos you post on YouTube
and your profile information on gaming platforms all become part of your permanent digital

record.
Search history: Every term you look up using search engines like Google, from homework

research to entertainment queries, gets recorded and contributes to your digital profile.
Online communications: Messages sent through WhatsApp, emails and your activity in virtual
classroom chats remain in the digital ecosystem.

Digital purchases: Any apps you download, in-game purchases you make or items you buy
online become part of your financial digital footprint.
