Column Internet Resources PRIVACY LITERACY resources Annis Lee Adams University Libraries, California State University - East Bay, Hayward, CA Internet use is deeply integrated into our personal and professional lives by utilizing websites and applications (apps) on computers, smartphones, smart home devices, and wearable technology. However, users may not realize the extent of data they are sharing about themselves when using these sites and apps or know how organizations and companies are using that data. This is true for all kinds of sites and apps, including social media, shopping, business, education, entertainment, lifestyle, and much more. Users may share some data knowingly, but may not understand that additional data is unwittingly shared. This is why privacy literacy is so important. Privacy literacy encompasses understanding what privacy means; what information is important to keep private; what risks there are to sharing personal information; how to weigh the risks/rewards of sharing personal data; how personal data may be tracked, stored, used, or distributed; and how to protect one’s information in the digital world.
