Basic Data Privacy Checkup

Reduce your digital footprint

This guide walks through reviewing app permissions, enabling stronger privacy controls, deleting unused accounts, and setting reminders to repeat the checkup quarterly.

Audit device permissions

Review camera, mic, location, and contacts access; revoke where not essential.

Harden key accounts

Enable 2FA, strong passwords, and security alerts on email, cloud storage, and banking.

Delete unused accounts

Export data if needed, then remove dormant accounts that increase risk surface.

Schedule repeats

Add a quarterly reminder to rerun the checkup and catch new apps or settings.
