Digital Footprints: An Internet Society Reference Framework 28 Jan 2014 http://www.internetsociety.org/doc/digital-footprints-internet-society-reference-framework (HTML) http://www.internetsociety.org/sites/default/files/Digital%20Footprints%20-%20An%20Internet%20Society%20Reference%20Framework.pdf (9.5MB PDF) [I had trouble downloading it, but it's come down fine for other people). This document is structured to make it simple for you to understand and manage your digital footprints. Each section deals with a particular topic: * How digital footprints are created, * Why third parties are interested in our digital footprints, * How privacy, economics, and legislation intersect, and so on. Each section is self-contained, giving a description of the problem or topic, why it matters to you, and what you can do about it. We grouped the sections into three over-arching themes (economics, risk and context), so you can treat the whole thing as a single document, or pick out a single section that interests you most, or read the sections that related to a common theme. We finish with a guidance section, giving examples of four types of action you can take to develop your understanding and control of your digital footprint. If that's your over-riding concern, just go straight to "How can I manage my digital footprints?". However, the first recommendation you will find there is this: improve your understanding of the basic issues... which is exactly what we hope you will get from the rest of the document. -- Roger Clarke http://www.rogerclarke.com/ Xamax Consultancy Pty Ltd 78 Sidaway St, Chapman ACT 2611 AUSTRALIA Tel: +61 2 6288 6916 http://about.me/roger.clarke mailto:[email protected] http://www.xamax.com.au/ Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Law University of N.S.W.
