Every time you visit a website and send an email or Instant Message, watch a video, or make a purchase, your information is stored to create a digital profile about your consumer habits, behaviors, and preferences.

If you visited any of the places below, you left a digital footprint:

• Search engines
• E-commerce websites
• Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media websites
• Email
• Online ads
• Chat rooms
• Blogs
• Job websites
• Skype or other instant messaging (IM) tools
• YouTube videos

Get the picture? This list could go on and on but we have more to discuss. The bottom line is that you leave your digital footprint everywhere you go. Whether looking for a job or building up your career, it is important for your online image to represent you professionally and consistently. Because the Internet can track you in so many way, it’s important to protect your privacy. Check out our recently acquired Reppler technology to see how you can protect your online reputation.
