includes websites we visits, e-mais we send , and any information we submit
online etc. along with the compiler’s IP address, location and other device specific
details. Such data could be used for targeted advertisement or could also be
misused or exploited. Thus, it is good to be aware of the data trail we might be
leaving behind. This awareness should make us cautious about what we write,
upload or even browse online.

(a) A digital footprint refers to the trail of data and information that individuals
leave behind while using the internet. It includes all the actions, interactions,
and content they create or engage with online. This data can be collected,
stored, and analyzed by various entities, including websites, social media
platforms, advertisers, and even governments 1
(b) Active digital foot prints, Passive digital footprints
(c) It's challenging to completely erase a digital footprint since data can be 1
stored in various databases and archives. However, individuals can take steps
to minimize their digital footprint, such as deleting unnecessary accounts,
requesting data removal from certain platforms, and being cautious about
what they share online.
(d) Employers and colleges might use digital footprints to gain insights into an 1
applicant's character, behaviour, and qualifications. They might review social
media profiles, online portfolios, and professional networking sites to assess
an individual's suitability for a position or academic program. 1
(e) Website servers, social media platforms, search engines, online accounts,
cookies and tracking mechanisms , mobile app.
