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. - Keep apps and operating system updated. - 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. ## Additional Resources For better privacy respecting alternatives, unbiased reviews and more information, check out: #### Alternatives & reviews -

I would highly appreciate any help with this. - Clean up/improve the Markdown. - Suggest new services/softwares or help improve the existing ones. - Anything else related to privacy or security. Any contribution to the project would be much appreciated.
