A: On the Internet a digital footprint is the word used to describe the trial, traces or "footprints" that people leave online. This is information transmitted online, such as forum registration, emails and attachments, uploading videos or digital images and any other form of transmission of information---all of which leaves traces of personal information about yourself available to others online (as defined on Webopedia). This is a fact of life now. Some people couldn't have enough of their online presence, they need to keep on checking if they're still connected or relevant to others. I've heard several times from people that they consider themselves dead when they can't access the Internet or their social media feeds are not up-to-date every minute of the day. And this phenomenon is not just limited to individuals. Corporations, non-profit organisations, and government institutions need to have a consistent, fresh, and relevant digital footprint all the time. Have you got yours secured?
