Your digital footprint — Cyber safety for kids

Your digital footprint is the trail of everything you post, like, comment and share. Posts can be screenshotted, saved and found years later — even “disappearing” ones and deleted ones. Build a footprint you will be proud of: projects, art, kind comments. Keep away from angry rants, rude jokes, other people’s secrets and anything that shows where you are, like tickets, report cards or your house number.

Stay safe

Posts last — “it can be copied, saved and found years later”

  1. Fine to post: your projects, art, poems, book reviews, nature photos, cheers for your team.
  2. Better not: angry rants, rude jokes, friends’ secrets, tickets, report cards, house number, where you are now.
  3. Before posting, ask: would I show this to a teacher — and be happy to see it in 10 years?

Use it for: Every post, comment, story and shared photo.

Worked example: 👣 Fact or myth? A deleted post is gone forever. → a myth

  1. Someone may have taken a screenshot or saved it before you deleted it.
  2. So it is a myth.

Check: Try it: with a parent, search your own name online and see what comes up ✓
