+## Privacy Best Practices
+The TL;DR version of best practices for digital privacy:
+- Follow the privacy settings mentioned here.
+- Use strong passwords (preferably atleast 10 characters containing alphabets, numbers and special characters).
+- Don't reuse passwords.
+- Use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords.
+- Use better privacy respecting alternatives for search engines, emails, browsers etc.
+- Use multifactor authentication.
+- Use open-source softwares and apps whenever possible (NOTE: open-source doesn't always necessarily mean secure).
+- Review permissions for softwares and apps and revoke unnecessary permissions.
+- Only provide information as much as necessary.
+- Provide false information when possible (Never knowingly give false information on a legal document, to a law enforcement officer, federal agency, medical personnel, banks etc).
+- Use E2EE (End to End Encrypted) messaging services.
+- Keep devices encrypted.
+- Make regular backups.
+- Spread the good information and make people aware around you.
