Description

You’re rightfully skeptical and ever vigilant! You trust few and question many. You are always on the lookout for potential threats in the digital world, but often deem your efforts to avoid them futile. This wariness helps protect you, but can feel like too much to manage.

Possible Pitfalls

Your profound distrust of “Big Brother” may have led you to adopt a myriad of privacy tools and practices that have become cumbersome. Having a laundry list of priorities while being doubtful that your efforts are worthwhile can stress you out and prevent you from adopting tools and services that could help you balance privacy protection with convenience.

Privacy Strategies

To allay some stress and fatigue, consider scaling back your use of privacy-protecting technologies and become proficient with a handful of tools that most closely address your priorities. Try a pragmatic approach – weighing the risks of sharing your data against the benefits of convenience, productivity, and well-being. Most importantly, do not give up on privacy. Take comfort in the knowledge that you are taking action to protect your identity and digital footprint.
