Open/Close Share

A few simple tips and steps to protect your data, privacy and best kept secrets!

Generation Z is the first to grow up with the internet. Your members should therefore know better than anyone what can and cannot be shared on social networks. But that doesn’t mean they never share too much.

The question is: How much information do we share without realizing it?

Do you indicate your presence on the networks when you arrive somewhere? No need to get tired: your phone probably already provides this information, whether you know it or not. According to a 2018 study, location data is sent to smartphone applications up to 14,000 times a day. But we also unwittingly share data in many other ways.
In a poll1 In a survey conducted by BDG Studios/OnePoll of over 1,000 Gen Z people in the US, 22% said they had ever accidentally sent a colleague or boss an embarrassing or personal message intended for their family or friends.
But it gets even more embarrassing: 36 respondents said the message in question was “intimate” and intended for their partner. *Emoji of face with one hand over mouth*.
It also happens that we receive information without having asked for it. Have you ever seen a file transfer request pop up on your phone out of nowhere? You’re not alone: ​​In the same survey, 46% of respondents said they had received an unsolicited file from complete strangers.

To avoid this, you should turn off your Bluetooth connection when you’re not using it and protect it with a password. At the same time, you protect your private data from prying eyes.
However, the easiest is still to use Samsung devices which offer many technologies like Private Share which encrypts all the information on your phone to protect you and your privacy.
With Private Share, you can select photos, audio files, and documents to securely send to specific people. And you can even set an expiration date for this data. Easily decide who can see what and when!
Samsung’s security and privacy dashboard is another handy feature that allows you to monitor your privacy. You can decide who has access to your data and when, and easily enable or disable app permissions. And you can even turn off camera and microphone access for all apps with a single tap.
Accidental or Excessive Data Sharing? With Samsung, that’s a thing of the past.
