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.
