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! ---
