Tips for Maintaining the Confidentiality of Personal Data
In an increasingly advanced era like today, we must always be cautious when using personal data in digital transactions. There are 2 types of personal data that you need to know: First, general data such as full name, gender, nationality, religion, and others. Second, specific data such as health information, biometric data (such as fingerprints), genetic data, child data, and personal financial data.
To keep your personal data safe and prevent data theft, let's follow the tips below!
1. Avoid sharing important information on social media
Sharing happiness on social media is allowed, but you must be careful and avoid sharing posts that contain personal information such as ID photos, tickets or passports, QR codes, or other information like mother's name and phone number.
2. Do not click on suspicious links
Avoid clicking on links in messages on social media, chat apps, SMS, or emails, especially from unknown numbers or accounts.
3. Ensure you transact on a trusted e-commerce platform
Scammers can create websites and apps that closely resemble official e-commerce platforms to obtain victims' personal data. Make sure you transact on official apps or websites. Scammers usually ask for your digital identity, such as credit card CCV number, account number, or other personal information. Double-check before making transactions.
Always be vigilant and cautious against scams, hacking, or bank account breaches that can happen to anyone. Make sure you apply the above tips! Check out the video here
