Session Title: My Digital Footprint: What the Internet Knows About Me

Format: Interactive panel discussion with real-time audience participation

Background: 

The digital era has transformed the way individuals interact online, but few people fully understand the extent of their digital footprint—the data trail they leave behind while browsing, shopping, socializing, and engaging with online services. From social media activity to search history, digital transactions, and location tracking, the internet compiles a vast amount of personal information that can be exploited for advertising, surveillance, identity theft, and even behavioral prediction.

This session aims to demystify digital footprints in a relaxed, engaging manner. By blending live demonstrations, audience participation, and expert insights, attendees will gain first-hand experience in assessing their own digital exposure and learn practical ways to protect their privacy.

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  • Understand what a digital footprint is and how it is created.
  • Discover what the internet already knows about you using live audience tests.
  • Identify risks associated with uncontrolled data exposure.
  • Learn practical tools and strategies to manage online privacy.
