Five Online Privacy Myths, Debunked
Misunderstandings about privacy lead to a false sense of safety. Here are five to drop.
Myth 1: I have nothing to hide
Privacy protects you from fraud, discrimination and harassment, not only from embarrassment.
Myth 2: Incognito makes me anonymous
It only hides history on your device.
Myth 3: A VPN protects everything
It encrypts traffic to the VPN but does nothing against phishing or account tracking.
Myth 4: Only big companies get hacked
Criminals use automation and target ordinary people.
Myth 5: Deleting an app deletes my data
Data may remain with the company until you request deletion.
Key takeaway: Good privacy comes from layered habits, not a single tool.
