COUNTERMEASURES FOR DIGITAL PRIVACY

Your watch isn’t tracking you. But the rest of your tech? Different story.

🔒 This week’s OPSEC directive: Reduce digital exposure by cutting silent trackers.

1. Disable Default Data Harvesting
   Your phone and apps collect more than you think.
   Go into Settings > Privacy and disable:
   • Ad tracking
   • Location history
   • Microphone access (for apps that don’t need it)

2. Block Passive Bluetooth Tracking
   Retailers, public spaces, and even cars scan for nearby devices. Disable Bluetooth when not in use.

3. Avoid Biometric Locks
   Fingerprints and face scans are convenient—but they're also data points.
   Use strong passcodes instead.
