1. Enter your name into several search engines: Use multiple search engines to perform a search for your first and last name. If you’ve recently changed your name, look up both your prior name and your current one. Try the common misspellings as well. Review the first two pages of results. Are they positive? Do they show you in a professional and respectable light? If anything comes up that you don’t like, ask the site administrator to take it down.
2. Double-check your privacy settings, but don’t trust them: Privacy settings on social media allow you to control who sees your posts on your social media streams. Spend some time getting to know these settings so you can use them fully – for example, Facebook allows you not only to limit posts merely to “friends,” but also to make customized lists of people who can see certain posts. However, don’t assume that privacy settings will protect you anywhere but on the social media site that uses them. For example, some Facebook users have reported finding their “friends-locked” photographs as public images on Google Image Search.
3. Create strong, memorable passwords: Any time you need a password, create one that uses a combination of words, numbers, symbols, and upper- and lowercase letters. Make it a password that is easy for you to remember, but would be hard for someone else to guess. Avoid the most popular combinations, like birthdates, anniversaries, or the names of your spouse, children, or pets.

4. Keep all your software up to date.

Many viruses and malware programs are specifically designed to “mine” your digital footprint, and they are constantly being updated. To help protect yourself, make sure that your antivirus software and your other software programs are up to date. Older software is more vulnerable to attack.

5. Review your mobile use: if you don’t need it, delete it.

Set a password or lock pattern on your mobile device so that it cannot be accessed by other people if you accidentally lose or forget it. From time to time, review the apps on your phone or tablet. What are their privacy or information-sharing settings? If you don’t use an app anymore, delete it.

6. Build your reputation through your behavior.

Contribute to your positive, professional digital footprint by posting only those things that contribute to the image of you that you want your bosses, banks, or professors to see. Skip the negative tweets, “un-tag” yourself from questionable Facebook photos, and keep critical comments to yourself. Instead, build a positive reputation by starting a blog or website that showcases your work or a hobby about which you’re passionate.

A digital footprint is the information about a particular person that exists on the internet as a result of their online activity and searches.

It means that anyone can see your search history. If your digital footprint can be searched that means that your activity and searches are not private and anyone who would like can see it.
