                                                        KABIR’S DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
                      Kabir enjoys  playing  online  quiz  apps  and sharing his scores  on social  media.  To unlock  bonus
                      levels, he often signs in using his email and allows apps to “access contacts” without reading the
                      permissions. One day his teacher showed him how many apps were linked to his account and how
                      they were collecting his data in the background.

                      Kabir was surprised to learn that his posts and shared scores were part of his active digital footprint,
                      while the apps collecting his contact list and usage information formed his passive digital footprint.
                      He decided to remove unnecessary apps, stop sharing personal details and check permission settings
                      before signing in anywhere. Kabir realised that small online actions can build a big digital footprint.

                      Based on the above case, answer the following questions:
                      1.  Which actions created Kabir’s active and passive digital footprint?

                      2.  What mistake did Kabir make while signing in to apps?

                     BUILDING A CONSTRUCTIVE DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

                     Building a constructive digital footprint means creating a positive online presence that reflects
                     your values, skills and  personality in a responsible way. A strong, positive digital footprint can
                     help you in your personal and professional life by showcasing your strengths, building trust and
                     opening up opportunities.
