How Exposed Are You? Find Out in 2 Minutes with This Privacy Scorecard

Data brokers, breached accounts, hidden tracking—you could be one Google search away from exposing everything.

Let’s find out exactly how much of your data is at risk—and what you need to fix today.

The 2-Minute Privacy Scorecard

Rate yourself on the following 10 privacy risks.

Give yourself:
✅ 1 point if you’ve done it
❌ 0 points if you haven’t

1. Google Yourself
   Have you searched your name, email, and phone number recently to see what’s out there?

2. Data Broker Removal
   Have you opted out of data broker sites that sell your personal info? (Spokeo, Whitepages, MyLife, etc.)

3. Old Account Cleanup

   Have you deleted or deactivated old accounts (social media, shopping, gaming, etc.) that you no longer use?

4. Privacy-Focused Browser
   Do you use a privacy-first browser like Brave or Firefox instead of Chrome?

5. Secure Search Engine
   Have you switched from Google to a privacy-focused search engine like DuckDuckGo or Startpage?

6. Tracking Protection
   Do you use tracker-blocking extensions (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, NoScript) to stop websites from following you?

7. Social Media Privacy Settings
   Have you locked down your social media privacy settings to prevent public exposure?

8. Biometric Tracking Awareness

   Have you checked if your face, fingerprints, or voice data are being stored by tech companies? (Apple, Google, Clearview AI)

9. Email & Phone Number Security
   Do you use a throwaway email for sign-ups and a secondary number for online accounts to avoid exposing your real info?

10. Password Manager & MFA
    Do you use a password manager + multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your most important accounts?

🔧 How to Fix Your Weak Spots

No matter your score, here’s what to do next:

1. If you haven’t Googled yourself lately—do it now. You need to know what’s already public.

2. Opt out of data broker sites that are selling your info.

3. Lock down your browser & search habits. Switch to Brave, install uBlock Origin, and delete Chrome.

4. Protect your phone & email from tracking. Use a secondary number, a private email, and disable app tracking.

5. Check where your biometric data is being stored. Many companies store facial recognition data even after you disable it.
