your real one, then that may not be a problem. On the other hand, if you’re the

sort of person who likes to keep your former virtual lovers away from your reallife

front door, the following tips can save you a lot of future headaches.

· If you give someone your phone number, a reverse telephone number

search may reveal your real name, address, and even the names of the

other people living at that address with you, including possibly your

children. That information isn’t always available for free, but you should

never assume that a determined individual wouldn’t be willing to spend

the required $3 to purchase the information.

· If you send someone your photograph, a reverse photo search can be

done on websites like Google or Tineye. These reverse photo searches

could lead someone to your Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Tumblr, or other

social media websites that contain sensitive personal information about

you. It can sometimes even send a snoop directly to your employer’s

website if your photo appears anywhere on the website.

· Practically every photograph contains embedded, hidden meta

information called EXIF data. Using an EXIF data reader can reveal this

information. EXIF data can include not only information about the camera

used to take the photo, but sometimes, even the exact latitude and

taken at your home, you may have just unknowingly handed someone your

home address.

· Giving someone your email address may seem like a perfectly safe

thing to do, until you realize that Googling an email address can reveal a

wealth of information about you that you never even knew existed. Think

of all the times you’ve been asked to leave your name and email address in

order to purchase something, leave a comment, post on social media,

generate forum messages, ask questions online, or submit technical

support trouble tickets. Eventually, a determined snoop will find

something that has both your email address and your real full name on it,

and the rest is easy.

· Every internet connection you make originates from a unique internet

protocol (IP) address. Most of the websites and online applications that

you use will automatically record your IP address when you connect to
