Is our data protected?

protected data

One of the common mistakes of entrepreneurs First-timers is not taking into account the small letters when signing up for a newsletter or advertising service. Although these seem harmless (And they are most of the time), unfortunately, there are many companies that use this data in a dishonest way, even selling it to third parties. This is when we begin to receive fraudulent advertising, putting our financial security at risk. Also, if we are business owners, we likely have a database of our clients. If this information gets into the wrong hands, it can affect them too.

As you have seen, taking extreme precautions never hurts. Check these Tips to ensure that your data and that of your clients will always be protected:

Do not click "Accept" without reading first: We may have signed up for a newsletter that sends us weekly offers of products that we usually use in our business. This can be very useful, but make sure it is specified in the terms and conditions that the company you are providing your data to will not sell or share it with third parties.

Invest in security protocols and systems.

Especially if you accept payments online. If your server is not secure, you can be attacked by a hacker, who with access to all your bank details can destroy what you have worked so hard for in one day. Make sure that the legend https: // appears at the beginning on your page and that of your providers.

Always use secure networks:

Do not log into your accounts on a public or shared network, and it does not hurt that from time to time a systems specialist checks your company's internet connection. Also report any anomaly or suspicious activity that you detect as soon as possible.
