Is it risky to use public Wi-Fi? What is a VPN and should I have one? Is my phone listening to me? How complicated do my passwords need to be? Should I accept cookies? What should I do if I get a breach notification letter? Is it safe to use the cloud?

If you have ever asked any of these questions, this podcast is for you. Brought to you by HuffPost, guest [Alysa Hutnik](https://www.kelleydrye.com/people/alysa-z-hutnik), breaks down Keeping Your Online Privacy, on this episode of Am I Doing it Wrong?

Alysa shares simple privacy and security tips and tricks to ensure your safety. Key takeaways include:

- Remember that everywhere you go online leaves a virtual breadcrumb trail.
- Review company privacy policies often. Companies are legally obligated to disclose the types of information they collect.
- Revisit your phone’s password and privacy settings periodically.
- Passwords matter – consider moving from a pass*word* to a pass*phrase*.
- Keep your webcams covered and close your laptops when not in use.
- Take proactive steps to be more anonymous.
- Start creating a habit of core digital hygiene strategies.
