Data protection on the Internet. How to protect our data well?

In this article we will learn how to protect our personal information on the Internet.

In this time of epidemic, when more and more people are using the Internet (e.g. e-learning), scammers are lurking, who are just waiting for a good moment to get our data.  There are more and more articles on the Internet that someone pretended to be an acquaintance, a policeman or an official in order to get our personal data. Unaware people share them, not knowing the consequences. Not taking care of our personal data works the same way as not locking the door of our house.

 

What is personal information? – is any information relating to an identified
or identifiable natural person.

  • An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social characteristics.
  • Information shall not be considered to enable identification if this would require excessive
    cost, time and effort.
  • Personal information is not individual information with a high degree of generality, such as a street name and house number alone.

 

Ordinary data

We can divide data into sensitive and ordinary data. Just because data is. ordinary doesn’t mean we can share it. They are also extremely important

Sensitive data.

Sensitive data is the data we should especially protect.

Let’s remember. Do not trust people on the Internet. Do not give out personal information that can be used. When the clerk calls you, make sure the clerk is calling you and not the scammer. Don’t be afraid to ask. We never know who is on the other end.

Let’s also consider downloading files. We should download files from original sites. This will minimize the risk of downloading viruses, e.g. torrent; which can steal our data; account passwords etc.
