UScellular Shares Tips to Ensure the Safety of Your Data Privacy
ASHLAND, OREGON (JANUARY 25, 2024) – January 28th is Data Privacy Day, which is a good time for individuals to review how their data is being protected. With almost 5.3 billion internet users worldwide and mobile devices contributing to nearly 60% of online traffic, scammers and phishing can exploit our reliance on increased connectivity and data protection.
According to the latest Pew Research study on data privacy, more than half of Americans, 56%, admit to agreeing to privacy policies without reading them.
“In this digital age, data privacy is the most important tool we have for protecting our information,” says Sarah Pearson, Area Vice President for UScellular. “Ensuring that our data and information is shared only with those that we trust and protecting it from those we don’t is important, and everyone should take time to evaluate how they can increase data protection.”
UScellular offers five tips to help protect your privacy and data.
