MODULE 1: WHAT IS ONLINE PRIVACY, AND WHY IS IT ESSENTIAL?

When it comes to surfing the Internet, online privacy is your best defense!

Online privacy, also known as internet privacy or digital privacy, refers to the degree to which our personal, communication, financial, and browsing information is secure when it is transmitted over the internet.

This is a broad term that encompasses a variety of technologies, protocols, and concepts aimed at enhancing the privacy of Internet users and other parties.

To cyber criminals, an individual's identity and information obtained while using the Internet are extremely valuable and desirable. Being able to use the Internet in a secure manner can help protect a person's identity and personal information from dangerous cyber criminals.
