Quick Note: This is the last episode of 2023. We will be back the second week of January 2024 with exciting new changes and many more fascinating guests. Thank you to everyone who has supported Privacy Files over the past year. You have given us encouragement to continue our mission to help the world take back control over its personal information. Have a great holiday season and see you in 2024!
When it comes to the topic of privacy, there are a few terms that are often freely used that may not always be well understood. Terms like digital footprint, digital exhaust and compartmentalization are just a few examples.
In this episode of Privacy Files, we tackle the concept of what it means to compartmentalize your digital life.
While there are many exciting developments in the area of privacy technology (e.g., decentralized identity) that will one day make protecting your personal data much easier, for now, one of the best ways to minimize your risk exposure is to compartmentalize your digital life.
We provide several examples of how this can be done and why it works. The more you compartmentalize your digital life, the more you reduce your digital exhaust. In other words, you make it far more difficult for data aggregators to develop rich behavioral profiles on your life. Less digital exhaust. More privacy.
In the second half of the episode, we talk about the newest addition to MySudo: the web browser extension.

MySudo is the world’s only all-in-one privacy app that makes compartmentalizing your digital life simple by giving you the ability to create multiple Sudos, or digital identities, that help you break the data trail linking back to your personal identity.
With the release of the web browser extension, compartmentalizing your digital life through MySudo is now much easier. When you’re shopping online, the web browser extension allows you to quickly choose which Sudo you want to use. Then the contact information associated with that Sudo populates the appropriate fields. Obtaining privacy via MySudo just became more convenient.
