Privacy Online

Every time you browse the internet, information about your activity can be collected. Discover how tracking works, what VPNs and Tor actually protect, and how to take greater control of your digital footprint.

Privacy isn't the same as anonymity.

Online privacy is about controlling what information you share and who can access it.

Tools such as private browsing, VPNs and Tor offer different types of protection. None makes you completely invisible online.

Three things worth remembering

✓ Private browsing doesn't hide your IP address.

✓ A VPN doesn't automatically make you anonymous.

✓ Tor improves anonymity but has limitations.
