   TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DATA
   All your online activity generates a trail of data . Websites , apps , and services collect data on your behaviors , interests , and purchases . Sometimes , this includes personal data , like your Social Security and driver’s license numbers . It can even include data about your physical self , like health data – think about how a smartwatch counts and records how many steps you take .  
   While it’s true that you cannot control how each byte of data about you and your family is shared and processed , you are not helpless . In many cases , you can control how you share your data with a few simple steps . Remember , your data is precious , and you deserve to be selective about who you share it with .
