How To Protect Your Privacy And Data Page

: Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when you aren't using them to prevent nearby devices from tracking your location. 4. Handle Data Responsibly

Managing how you share and store data is key to long-term privacy.

: Regularly check your phone settings to see which apps have access to your camera, microphone, and location. Deny access to any app that doesn't strictly need it.

: Be wary of suspicious emails or texts asking for personal info. Organizations like the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) suggest always asking "why, how, and who" before sharing any data.

: Always install software and OS updates immediately. These updates often include "patches" for security holes that hackers use to steal data.
