Online Information – Review Info

  • Deleting something you post does NOT mean it’s gone forever.

  • Other people can save, screenshot, copy, or share your posts.

  • Websites and apps may keep their own copies even if you delete something.

  • Even if you ask others to delete it, they don’t have to.

  • Closing your account doesn’t guarantee your info is erased — some sites keep data for a long time (check the Terms of Service).

  • It’s hard to control info collected about you because:

    • Sites collect data from your activity, not just what you post
    • You may not know it’s being tracked

Bottom line: Once something is online, you lose control over it.

Important Terms - NOTES

  • What you can do if they break their own rules
