Information
In addition to the responsible handling of entrusted personal data, it is also important to keep an eye on the protection of one's own data.

For example, when using search engines, to prevent profiles from being created based on search queries, one can resort to alternative search engines such as startpage or DuckDuckGo. The first example provides Google search results, but interposes itself so that Google does not know who made the query. The second example is another search engine that also provides good search results.

When opening a website, technologies are often used that monitor and track site visitors. Here you can block a large part with so-called add-ons like Ghostery or Disconnect. To get an idea of what happens in the background when you visit a website, you can install "Lightbeam" for the web browser "Google Chrome". This and much more information can also be found on the external website Data Protection Commissioner Info.
