Your digital footprint is the trail left behind by you when you go online and consists of your active and passive footprint.
Managing your digital footprint is important for personal branding, career opportunities, reputation, privacy, and security.
To effectively manage your digital footprint, conduct an audit of your online presence, clean up your social media, lock down your privacy settings, and build a good online reputation.
Regularly review and maintain your digital footprint by using Google Alerts, reviewing social media activity, and keeping personal and professional accounts separate.
