About privacy and mobile devices
- do not use smartphone :-)
- if you use smartphone, do not enable location service by default
- and do not store credit card information on smartphone
- and use it with encrypted storage
- and use strong authentication
- if you use smartphone, do not user social media :-) (except #nostr)
- if you use social media, do not use centralized, especially multi company owned social media (this is why we use #nostr)
- do not share real email address
- and do not share real mobile number
- never use or share real name
- never share any information that could identify your real identity
- do not share photos, videos, about yourself, your family
- do not share infos about your home location, enterieurs, real workplace, etc.
- do not use any apps on your mobile that takes infos about you
- do not use any services that can build your profile
- use only trusted (and probably FOSS) apps
- do not use mobile phone that is bounded to a telco service provider
- do not use mobile phone that bounds you to the mobile manufacturer, and/or operating system provider and/or application developer
- do not use wearable devices, smartwatches, that can share infos about you through mobile phone, even directly
- do not use cloud services
- do not syncronize phones with another devices using clouds
- do not connect to a passwordless wifi
- don't trust anyone or anything that you haven't personally verified before
Conclusion:
- nowadays it is nearly impossible to follow all the rules above
- don't be lazy and don't believe anyone who tries to sell you all this as a "convenience" service
--- So reduce your digital footprint as much as you can! ---
