These days, many people are aware of the veritable gold mine their online activity provides, whether for use in targeted advertising or for other less savory activities. Collecting, buying, and selling this kind of information is big business for data brokers, also known as information product companies. They collect everything from basic contact details to frighteningly detailed personal profiles of your interests, buying habits, demographic information, online behavior, and more.

While brokered data is supposed to be used for purposes like advertising, identity verification, and location analytics, that's not always the case. When scammers access this data, you're at risk for more exposure to spam, scams, phishing, unwanted ads and profiling, and other forms of misuse.

But there are ways to protect your privacy—first and foremost by limiting the amount of your data that is collected, stored, and shared.
