Clean Up Your Digital Footprint: A Step-by-Step Online Privacy Workbook

Ever wondered, "How do they have my number?" Your phone number, address, relatives' names and past addresses may be for sale on people-search sites you've never heard of. Scammers use that information to make their calls and texts sound real.

You can't erase yourself from the internet, but you can remove a lot of it, lock down what's left, and become a much harder target. This workbook walks you through it one short session at a time.

Inside you'll work through:

• A privacy scorecard you take before and after
• Searching yourself the way a stranger would
• Passwords, passkeys and 2-step login
• Data breach checks and credit freezes
• Opting out of data-broker and people-search sites, with a tracker for every request
• Social media, phone, app, mail and old-account cleanup
• A simple calendar to keep it clean and help your family do the same

10 modules plus trackers, 41 pages. About 30 days at 20–40 minutes a session, and nearly every step is free.
