Data leaks from the brands and sites you visit and interact with daily. Protecting your identity and hiding from online threats is becoming more important. Here are some ways we recommend to stay protected.

Password Managers

Do you reuse the same password everywhere? Are you worried it's not the most secure? Do you constantly struggle to remember which password goes with which site?

Password managers are the answer. They manage your passwords by site, encourage you to use strong passwords and don't require you to remember them anymore!

Our favorite is 1Password, which you can download here https://1password.com/

There are many password managers out there—find one and remember to use it with Reklaim!

Privacy Browsers & Extensions

Your browser has many tools and tricks to help prevent sites from tracking you and collecting information on you without your knowledge. If only they were the same on all browsers and turned on. Instead of endless Google searching for how to tweak your browser to work for you, here are a few suggestions.

Use a privacy browser - we like Brave https://brave.com/

Use a privacy search engine - we like DuckDuckGo https://duckduckgo.com/

Use privacy extensions in your browser - https://privacybadger.org/

Protect and hide your network.

Some sites will attempt to track you using your internet service provider's network information. Due to how the Internet functions, this network information is available to every site you visit. However, you can use a VPN (virtual private network) to make your network look like someone else's or lots of other people's network, thus confusing attempts to track you.

There are many VPN services, but make sure you're using a "no log" provider. This means they don't log your internet traffic and then typically sell it, which defeats the purpose.

Remove your Data from the Web and Brokers

Even if you get serious about privacy now, what about all the data already collected? Get rid of it now and anything collected in the future by hiring an agent to monitor your online footprint.

Email tracking

Did you know that brands regularly track you when you read their emails? Even if you mark it as spam, the tracking happens as soon as you open the email.

Turn off tracking in email using a pixel blocker. If you're using Gmail, you can use this handy browser extension - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pixelblock/jmpmfcjnflbcoidlgapblgpgbilinlem
