ONLY 2 DISCLAIMER 2.1 PURPOSE The Digital Exhaust Opt Out Guide is a new publication; no previous versions are available. This Guide was created to mitigate risk for Law Enforcement employees’ and their families as it pertains to protecting their personal information, which is vulnerable to exploitation. This risk includes potential for threat actors to identify, target, and track anyone affiliated with Law Enforcement via use of open source, Internet-based services offering searches of data aggregated about the American public. To mitigate this risk, this Guide was created as a first-of-its-kind aid for the Law Enforcement community in highlighting and presenting recommendations to reduce these vulnerabilities. This document is for informational purposes only. Questions about this document can be directed to the email address listed below in Section 2.5. 2.2 LIMITING LIABILITY This Digital Exhaust Opt Out Guide was prepared as a collection of best practices to assist Law Enforcement employees.

Digital Exhaust is data on the Internet about you.1 You create some of it and others create some of it about you.2, 3 These data are exploitable to identify, target, and track you. Controlling Digital Exhaust is possible but complex. This document serves to make it easy, or at least easier. 3.1 WHY SHOULD YOU CARE? Because your privacy matters. This guide is laid out for you in a way that is the key difference in assisting Law Enforcement employees and their families in opting out of their data and taking positive steps towards keeping their Digital Exhaust from repopulating and out of the hands of a variety of threat actors. 3.2 WHY DO I NEED A GUIDE? Because heading into this blindly will consume and possibly waste a lot of your time. Not anymore. These preventative measures are simple enough to employ and operate safely in everyday life, both physically and online, while comprehensive enough to deny spectrum access to threat actors who could gain important operational advantages at the expense of you – a Law Enforcement employee – or your family. 3.3 WHERE DO I ACTUALLY FIT INTO THE DIGITAL EXHAUST LANDSCAPE? Here. This is you. Figure 1. Digital Exhaust Ecosystem. 5 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY This is also you. Figure 2. Digital Exhaust Ecosystem Players4 6 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4 THE GUIDE Perform these opt out steps to control your digital exhaust. Progress through the Guide in the order presented for best results. 4.1 SECURING YOUR WEB BROWSER All web browsers collect the following 10 types of data about you: 1. Your hardware and software; 2. Your connection information (to include your IP address and browser speed); 3. Your geolocation data; 4. Your browsing history; 5. Your mouse or touch pad movements; 6. Your device’s orientation (if using a Mobile browser); 7. Your information about which social networks you are logged into while browsing; 8. Your installed fonts and which language you are using on your operating system; 9. Your image data; 10. In addition, other technical data, including your screen size, touchscreen support, user agent, status of the Do Not Track (DNT) header, and more. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox provide easy ways to combat this including the use of add-on “extensions” which serve you by building layers of security into those browsers.5 Visit the articles at the URLs below for advice about these types of extensions then view the sample user extension setups for Chrome and Firefox in order to get a feel for how you can control collection on your 10 data types. Please note: The Guide suggests adding the extension identified below as Protect My Choices first on all of your browsers then adding Ghostery second followed by others. This order will first opt your browsers out of interest-based advertising (aka online behavioral advertising) then, second, protect them by block tracking ads altogether. Be sure to test your browser after setup of add-on extensions to detect any continued unwanted collection of your data.6, 7 These can be done via open source tools like Webkay (What Every Browser Knows About You) and Panopticlick; the URLs for these websites are available in Section 3.1.2. 7 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4.1.1 Browser Privacy Extension Advice Browser Privacy Extension Advice 1. https://brave.com/features/ Brave 2. https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017989132-How-do-Ichange-my-Privacy-Settings3. https://windowsreport.com/chrome-privacy-extensions/ Chrome 4. https://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/protect-online-privacy-chromeextensions.html 1. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4468242/microsoft-edge-browsingdata-and-privacy-microsoft-privacy Edge 2. https://www.onmsft.com/how-to/how-to-configure-microsoft-edge-insiderfor-increased-browsing-privacy 1. https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/make-your-firefox-browser-a-privacysuperpower-with-these-extensions/ Firefox 2. https://www.privacyend.com/firefox-privacy-add-ons/ 4.1.1.1 Sample Setup of Privacy Extensions for Google Chrome 8 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4.1.1.2 Sample Setup of Privacy Extensions for Mozilla Firefox 9 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY a Everywhere . . .

Further information about online behavioral advertising is available at the Association of National Advertisers at URL https://www.ana.net/about. You can also enable your browser to run a privacy tool like Ghostery, which blocks advertising attempts to gain access to your information. Ghostery can be read about at the URL https://www.ghostery.com/ 12 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4.2.1 Browser Privacy Controls Platform Browser Privacy Advice Chrome http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95647 Firefox http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Enabling and disabling cookies#w_howdo-i-change-cookie-settings Desktop Internet http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/delete-manageExplorer cookies#ie=ie-11 Safari http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11913 Opera http://blogs.opera.com/news/2015/08/how-to-manage-cookies-in-opera/ Chrome https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2392709?hl=en Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-your-browsing-history-and-otherpersonal-dat Internet http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp7/web/changing-privacyExplorer and-other-browser-settings Mobile Safari https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265 Opera http://blogs.opera.com/news/2015/08/how-to-manage-cookies-in-opera/ Silk http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201730580 Android Click top right corner with three dots, Settings, Privacy Browser 4.2.2 Online Behavioral Advertising Services Service Opt Out Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ WebChoices Tool AppChoices (Mobile Apps) http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices 13 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4.3 PRIMARY DATA BROKERS Data brokers collect and sell data about consumers.13 They generally do not have a direct relationship with anyone they collect about but they do sell data to other parties, like companies or individual marketers, for their commercial purposes.14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 Primary data brokers sell to other data brokers.20 Primary Data Broker Acxiom CoreLogic Oracle Data Cloud Epsilon Opt Out Method https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx https://www.corelogic.com/privacy.aspxhttps://www.corelogic.com/privacy.aspx It is recommended you contact them via the email privacy@corelogic.com and you can provide them with documentation to opt out available at URL https://www.corelogic.com/downloadable-docs/teletrack-out-opt-form.pdf https://datacloudoptout.oracle.com/optout/ 1.

The following techniques can help mitigate any personal risk you assume by using these services. 4.8.1 Standalone Email Addresses and Proper Settings 1. USE A STANDALONE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR FACEBOOK. Use a standalone email address that is not linked to any other account beyond Facebook. 2. DO NOT REGISTER OR USE A TELEPHONE NUMBER WITH FACEBOOK. 3. ENSURE YOUR MOBILE PHONE AND WEB BROWSER ARE PROPERLY CONFIGURED. Go through and apply guidance on these topics elsewhere in this document. To do so please see Sections 3.7.1 and 3.7.2. 4.8.2    Ensure Facebook Account Settings Properly Configured PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD: Create a Facebook password different from the passwords you use to log into other accounts. For additional tips, visit fb.me/Passwords. You can also test any sample password you choose at the URL https://howsecureismypassword.net/ ENABLE LOGIN NOTIFICATIONS: Facebook will send you a notification if someone tries logging into your account from a new device or browser. To learn more, visit fb.me/LoginNotifications ACTIVATE LOGIN APPROVALS: Facebook will prompt you enter a special security code (twofactor authentication) each time you try to access your Facebook account from a new computer, phone or browser. To learn how to turn on Login Approvals, visit fb.me/LoginApprovals. 18 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY    SET UP TRUSTED CONTACTS: Trusted contacts are friends you can reach out to if you ever need help getting into your Facebook account. Only have one to trust with that access. Once set up, if you are unable to access your account, your trusted contacts can access special, one-time security codes from Facebook via a URL. You can then call your friends to get the security codes and use those codes to access your account. To set up your trusted contacts, visit fb.me/TrustedContacts. CHECK WHERE YOU’RE LOGGED IN: The Where You’re Logged In section of your Security Settings shows you a list of browsers and devices that have been used to log in to your account recently. You will also see the option to End Activity and log yourself out on that computer, phone or tablet. To review your active sessions and log out from unused browsers and apps, visit fb.me/ActiveSessions. CUSTOMIZE YOUR NOTIFICATIONS: You can adjust what Facebook activity you are notified about and how you are notified. For additional details, visit fb.me/Notifications. Figure 3. Facebook Account Settings. 4.8.3 Conduct Your Own Facebook Security Checkup Use Facebook's Security Checkup to review and add more security to your account. To start your own Facebook Security Checkup, visit fb.me/securitycheckup. 19 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Figure 4. Facebook Security Checkup 4.8.4      Ensure Facebook Privacy Settings Are Properly Configured SELECT YOUR AUDIENCE: Whenever you update your status, share photos, or post any information on Facebook, you can select who sees what you share through the audience selector tool. This tool allows you to determine who sees what you share. The Custom option can be used to be as specific as you want for who can and cannot see something. Facebook's help page will remind you when you post to another person’s Timeline, that person controls what audience can view the post. Additionally, anyone who is tagged in a post may see it, along with his or her friends. To learn more about selecting audiences, visit fb.me/AudienceSelector. REVIEW AND APPROVE: There are two options within the Timeline and Tagging Settings for reviewing content that is tagged. The first allows you to approve or dismiss posts that you are tagged in before they appear on your Timeline. This automatically applies to posts where you are tagged by someone you are not friends with, but you can choose to review all tags by turning on the timeline review. The second option allows you to approve or dismiss tags people add to your posts. When you turn this on, a tag someone adds to your post will not appear until you approve it. To learn how to enable tag reviews, visit fb.me/TagReview. CONTROL LINKS TO SEARCH ENGINES: If you do not want search engines to link to your profile, you can adjust your Privacy Settings. However, some information from your profile can still appear in search engine results because it is information you shared to a Public audience or posts and comments you shared on Pages, Public groups, or the Community Forum section of the Help Center. To learn more, visit fb.me/SearchEngines. MANAGE LOCATION PRIVACY: Your location can be shared in various ways: with apps, by checking-in, via private messages, or by someone else tagging you. It is important to consider when you share your location and with whom and to take measures to protect your location when possible. To learn more about location privacy on Facebook, visit fb.me/LocationPrivacy. USE THE VIEW AS FEATURE: You can see what your profile looks like to other people by using the View As tool. To learn more, visit fb.me/ViewAs. 20 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Figure 5. Facebook Privacy Settings 4.8.5     Managing Your Facebook Community FRIEND PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND TRUST: Facebook is where so many of us connect with people we know personally, like friends, family, classmates, and coworkers. Facebook is based on authentic identities, where people represent who they are in the real world. DO NOT USE YOUR FULL NAME ON FACEBOOK. This is one of the fastest ways to get into someone's life so you might as well make it harder for someone to find you if they get a hold of your personal information or use Facebook as a way to gauge your life even in new social circles. Unfortunately, as Facebook notes, some individuals use tactics such as impersonating a friend to gain access to personal information. If you receive a friend request from someone you are already friends with, ask if they sent the new request before accepting it. If they did not create it, report the impersonating profile to Facebook. If you want to meet new people through Facebook, try connecting with Pages and groups that interest you. You can also choose to limit who can see your friend list if you are worried about your friends and family being contacted by someone. To learn more about adding friends and friend requests, visit fb.me/FriendRequests. UNFRIENDING: To unfriend someone, go to that person’s profile, hover over the Friends button at the top of their profile and select Unfriend. If you choose to unfriend someone, Facebook will not notify the person but you will be removed from that person’s friends list. If you want to be friends with this person again, you will need to send a new friend request. To learn more about removing friends, visit fb.me/Unfriending. BLOCKING: Blocking a person automatically unfriends them, and also blocks them so they can no longer see things you post on your profile, tag you, invite you to events or groups, start a 21 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY  conversation with you, or add you as a friend. Blocking is reciprocal, so you also will not be able to do things like start a conversation with them or add them as a friend. When you block someone, Facebook does not notify him or her you have blocked them. To learn more, visit fb.me/Blocking. REPORTING: Any type of content can be reported to Facebook. Facebook’s Community Standards explain what type of content and sharing is allowed on Facebook. When something is reported to Facebook, a global team reviews it and removes anything that violates these terms. To learn how to report and what happens when you click report, click here fb.me/Reporting. Figure 6.

Facebook describes facial recognition as “Our technology analyzes the pixels in photos and videos, such as your profile picture and photos and videos that you have been tagged in, to calculate a unique number, which we call a template. We compare other photos and videos on Facebook to this template and if we find a match, we will recognize you. If you are untagged from a photo, or video, information from those untagged photos and videos is no longer used in the template. If your face recognition setting is set to off, we delete the template." in their help center post at URL https://www.facebook.com/help/122175507864081 Disabling active status allows you to operate on the service private from other users and Facebook friends. 22 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4.8.7 Disabling Advertising Features In Facebook Go to your Account Settings and enter the section for Ad Preferences. 23 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Then, enter each section Advertisers, Your Information, and Ad Settings. 4.8.7.1 Advertisers Your Facebook account will have the same sub sections as highlighted below.

This is critical because connecting with a fake LinkedIn profile can give cyber criminals or Advanced Persistent Threat actors access to important and powerful information about you, such as details about your history, company and professional contacts. That information can be used to create detailed and believable phishing campaigns and other financial swindles. In short, beware of LinkedIn accounts with fake photos, incomplete profiles, limited connections, fake names, poor spelling and grammar, and/or suspicious work history. 4.10.1.1 Fake Photos Model-quality photos often accompany a large number of Fake LinkedIn profiles. If you are suspicious about a photo, there is an easy way to check its authenticity. Simply do a reverse image search using TinEye, Bing's Visual Search or Google’s Reverse Image Search. These search engines will show you where, if any place, the same image has been used previously online. 4.10.1.2 Incomplete Profiles One key indicator of fake LinkedIn accounts is the lack of any real information about the individual. If there is information, it is often in the form of mostly generic statements that lack any specificity in the summary and experience sections. Conversely, genuine profiles belonging to real people typically include a mixture of personal details, such as causes, volunteering, hobbies, education, recommendations, and the use of the first person when writing the 'Summary' or 'Experience' sections. Many fake profiles used for swindles do not bother to add personal information and keep detail to a minimum. Most people also personalize their custom LinkedIn URL whereas false accounts generally will not as they are created quickly and without tremendous attention to detail. This may not be the case for more sophisticated Cyber criminals or Advanced Persistent Threat actors. 4.10.1.3 Limited Connections Genuine profiles typically have a mixture of people and profiles among its connections. Fake profiles may have connections with all the same or all opposite gender people with fake-looking profile pictures. 32 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Fake profiles can range from a few to several hundred connections, as well as a handful of skill endorsements. They also usually belong to several groups, and follow a couple of companies and influencers. Check out mutual connections from a connection request, or better yet, message your connections directly to see if you can validate an individual’s identity prior to connecting to their profile. 4.10.1.4 Fake Names or Doppelgangers Threat actors may create fake names or doppelgänger accounts to facilitate their threat activities. Accounts created in this may use generic names or that of a very famous person, like an actor, actress or television personality. Some scammers will use the name of a more obscure actor or actress that would not be as known to most of those on LinkedIn. Threat actors may also create accounts that impersonate a legitimate person’s account. These accounts are doppelgangers and their users try to assume a legitimate connection’s identity as best as they can. These doppelganger accounts are frequently 3rd degree connections. To protect against this, run the account name in LinkedIn’s search function to see if they have more than one account. If so, you may have identified their doppelgänger or found the true account and uncovered that whomever you are interacting with is the doppelganger. If you can, block the illegitimate account(s). This prevents the threat actor from viewing your profile, attempting to follow your account on LinkedIn, and from delivering any type of malware to you through LinkedIn InMail. More about doppelgänger accounts are available in the article "A Sneak Into The Devil's Colony-Fake Profiles in Online Social Networks” at URL https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1705/1705.09929.pdf 4.10.1.5 Poor Spelling and Grammar Many fake profiles include obvious errors like misspellings and poor grammar. Often, the first name is displayed in all capital or lowercase letters, which would not be common to see in a genuine profile. 33 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4.10.1.6 Suspicious Work History One of the most effective ways to detect a suspicious work history is to check a connection's work experience by looking for their current employer elsewhere online and see if the person with the suspect profile is, in fact, listed as working there. 4.10.1.7 Suspect Connection Requests Be sure to vet connection requests if they contain content with languages unfamiliar to you. Use the Google Translate App at URL https://translate.google.com/intl/en/about/ if you want to read what the profile says in any unfamiliar language. On a mobile phone, take a screen shot and import it. 4.10.2 LinkedIn Privacy Settings LinkedIn provides users with a number of privacy options. Review the following URL to better understand them https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/92055/understanding-your-privacysettings?lang=en then head over to begin controlling them.

Hide your last name from people not connected to your account. 4.10.2.3 Reviewing Where Your Name Appears On Your Profile Modify your account’s custom URL on your LinkedIn profile to omit your full name. Also, do not openly post your resume online, review any recommendations you receive and ensure your last name is controlled on them and any other personally identifiable information in them. 4.10.2.4 Follow Accounts Instead of Connecting to Them According to LinkedIn, "Connections are members who connected on LinkedIn because they know and trust each other. If you are connected to someone, you will both be able to see each other's shares and updates on your LinkedIn homepages. You can also send messages to your connections on LinkedIn. Following someone on LinkedIn allows you to see the person's posts and articles on your homepage without being connected to them. However, the person you’re following won't see your posts."

Regardless, search your name in LinkedIn to look for any 3rd-degree connections who may be attempting pass themselves off as the real you. The article at URL https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/topics/6001/6008/3544 offers a great overview for how to search. You can also perform Boolean searches on LinkedIn.

Many devices with cameras, like smartphones, embed the set of data into the pictures they capture. Data types include the shutter speed, ISO, aperture data, camera mode, and/or GPS location of where the picture was taken. They are stored within the pictures they take in a format called the Exchangeable Image Format (EXIF) and, left intact, present a potential privacy vulnerability when shared across devices or uploaded onto the Internet. In short, to protect your privacy, remove EXIF data from your images. 4.18.1 Removing EXIF from iOS photos on Apple Mac computers According to the article "Parenting tip: Share your iOS photos without revealing your EXIF location data" at URL https://www.engadget.com/amp/2013/10/03/parenting-tip-share-your-ios-photoswithout-revealing-your-exif/ :"The easiest way to view EXIF data is on your Mac. Just transfer your photos to your Mac using iPhoto, tap on the image and select the "i" for info. All the EXIF data, including a map of the GPS coordinates will appear within the iPhoto window. If you do not see a map, then you may have to hop into iPhoto preferences and turn on this mapping feature. Go to iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Advanced. If you choose "Automatically", then iPhoto will scan your photos for GPS data and map them for you. While you are in the settings, you should check the status of the "Include location information for published photos" option. If it is selected, then the location data will remain intact when you use iPhoto to upload your photos to other services. If it is not selected, then the location data will be stripped from the file by iPhoto during the upload process. Unselecting this option is the preferred choice if you don't want people to know the location of your photos." 4.18.2 Preventing EXIF location data from embedding into new photos on iOS Turn off photo geotagging feature by going to Location Services in the Settings. Tap on Settings > Privacy > Location Services and then scroll down to the Camera app to make sure it is toggled off. Note this only applies to photos taken after you have turned off the location feature and does not remove any other EXIF data. 62 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 4.18.3 Removing all EXIF data from iOS Photos Prior to Apple’s release of iOS 13, there was no native way to disable EXIF data. With the release of iOS 13, Apple now provides users a way to remove EXIF data from photos. This URL will inform you on how to do so along with other key features within iOS 13 that will better enhance your privacy https://www.forbes.com/sites/joegray/2019/09/20/5-essential-privacy-features-introduced-in-appleios13/#6dcc4f632d4e However, apps, which can remove EXIF data, are available in the iOS App Store. One such app includes Exif Data and the pro version costs $0.99/year. It enables you to view, edit, and remove metadata from your iOS devices like iPhone and iPad. It also allows you to spoof a location of your choosing of where the photo was taken which will appear within the photo’s metadata. Figure 8.

More available at URL https://www.ssa.gov/history/ssn/geocard.html    The first set of three digits is called the Area Number. The second set of two digits is called the Group Number. The final set of four digits is the Serial Number. Area Number The Area Number is assigned by the geographical region. Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant's mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, prior either to 1972 or since. Generally, numbers were assigned beginning in the northeast and moving westward. Therefore, people on the east coast have the lowest numbers and those on the west coast have the highest numbers. In 2007, the SSA gave public notice that it intended to abandon its previous method for choosing Social Security numbers and instead to go to a random process for assignment. The SSA followed through with that change in June 2011. Group Number Within each area, the group number (middle two (2) digits) range from 01 to 99 but are not assigned in consecutive order. For administrative reasons, group numbers issued first consist of the ODD numbers from 01 through 09 and then EVEN numbers from 10 through 98, within each area number allocated to a State. After all numbers in group 98 of a particular area have been issued, the EVEN Groups 02 through 08 are used, followed by ODD Groups 11 through 99. 65 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Serial Number Within each group, the serial numbers (last four (4) digits) run consecutively from 0001 through 9999. When the government introduced the Social Security program with its numbers in 1936, it was never meant to be so widely used to identify and track individuals. Today, this number is used for everything from its original purpose – to track your lifetime earnings and calculate your Social Security benefits – to opening a checking account or fill out a new-patient form at the doctor's office. In the United States, many businesses will ask for your Social Security number simply because it is a convenient way for them to identify customers. Unfortunately, threat actors can use your Social Security number to commit identity theft, so you should always guard your Social Security number carefully and only give it out when absolutely necessary. Now that you understand what comprises an SSN, here are 10 simple ways you protect your SSN: 1. Offer An Alternative Form Of Identification If a business or organization asks for your Social Security number, offer your driver’s license number instead. Other alternative forms of ID include a passport, proof of current and previous address (bills) or even a student ID from a college or university. 2. Ask Why And How The SSN Will Be Handled If the business insists, ask questions. You have a right to know why it is necessary to provide your SSN and how it will be handled. Here are some questions:      Why is having my SSN necessary? With whom will you share my SSN with if I provide it? How will my SSN be stored? Will it be encrypted? Do you have a privacy policy and may I see it? Will you cover my liability or losses if my SSN is stolen or compromised? Unfortunately, if you are asked to provide your SSN by a business or institution that doesn't need it and you say no, it can refuse to provide services to you or put conditions on the service—such as a deposit or additional fees. However, the question to always ask is “do I want to do business with a business that does not care about my privacy concerns?” 3. Leave Your Card At Home Do not carry your card around with you in your wallet or purse. Do not enter it into your phone, laptop, or other device. It is rare for you to need your card and when you do need it, it generally does not come as a surprise. 4. Shred Mail and Documents With Personal Details Discarded mail and documents are easy places for identity thieves to search. Do not just throw out papers that contain personal details such as your SSN. Get a shredder at a discount or office supply store and use it on a regular basis. While you are at it, do not leave mail in an outside mailbox for long periods. Stealing mail is another way thieves can make off with your identity. 66 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 5. Do Not Use Your SSN As A Password Do not use the whole number—or part of it—as a password for anything! The password file can be stolen and decrypted, or someone can just watch you type it in from over your shoulder. Also, if you need to require it for legitimate purposes in a public place, be careful who may be in a position to eavesdrop on your conversation. 6. Do Not Send Your SSN via Electronic Device Never type your SSN into an email or instant message and send it. The majority of email messages can be intercepted and read in transmission. Also, do not leave a voice mail that includes your SSN. If you need to contact someone and give them your number, it is always best to do so in person. If you need to do so on the phone, ensure you are speaking to the right person so you are not swindled. 7. Do Not Give It Out You should never provide your SSN to someone you do not know who calls you on the phone and requests it. This same warning applies to unsolicited emails and any forms you fill out on the internet. In general, do not give your SSN to anyone unless you are certain they have a reason and a right to have it. 8. Monitor Bank And Credit Card Accounts Keep close tabs on your bank and credit card balances. This is one way to make sure your SSN and identity have not been compromised. Many banks let you sign up for account alerts. They will send you text alerts or call you if transactions exceed a certain amount or if someone tries to use your SSN to access your account. You can also check your credit score on a regular basis at AnnualCreditReport.com. You can do this once a year free. If the Social Security Administration is still sending you an annual statement detailing your earnings, and it looks abnormal, someone might be using your SSN for employment purposes. You can register to get statements at the Social Security Administration's website. 9. Use An Identity Protection Service You can register with (and pay for) an identity protection service such as LifeLock, IdentityForce, or Identity Guard. Such services provide identity insurance—for a fee, that typically starts around $10 per month. Banks and credit unions also have packages they sell to customers, as do major credit rating agencies such as Experian and TransUnion. 10. Do Not Forget To Protect Your Child's SSN While you are protecting your own Social Security number, make sure you are equally watchful about your children's numbers. This is most often an issue at the doctor’s office. Fortunately, most medical facilities are more than happy to use an insurance account number instead of your SSN or your child's. 4.19.1 Block Electronic And Phone Access To Your SSN Electronic and phone access to SSN information can be blocked by going to the Block Electronic Access page on the Social Security Administration's website. Once there, you will verify your identification and confirm your intention to block your Social Security number. Blocking your number will prevent access by anyone, including you. If conditions change or you need access to your information, the block can be lifted either permanently or temporarily by contacting the Social Security Administration. If you would 67 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY like more information about the benefits of blocking your SSN, read the article at URL https://www.sapling.com/6926296/block-social-security-number Service SSA Block Electronic Access Page SSA Contact Page URL https://secure.ssa.gov/acu/IPS_INTR/blockaccess http://www.socialsecurity.gov/agency/contact/ 68 FOR OFFICAL USE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 5 APPENDIX: LIST OF PEOPLE SEARCH OPT-OUT SITES Many people search websites allow anyone to search for a name, email address, phone number or other unique data points.
