Credit
Your credit history is an important part of what makes up the Digital You. It is viewed by multiple entities that have the potential to drastically affect your life.
Your credit score is the way many of these entities view your creditworthiness. For example, it helps lenders predict how you will treat a line of credit based on your financial history. This means it can have an effect on some of your biggest life events such as purchasing a home, receiving a loan and even securing employment.
For this reason, it is important to understand and manage all aspects of your credit. You can start today with ScoresMatter. At ScoresMatter you
What you do online
As previously mentioned, everything you do online becomes part of the Digital You. This means every-time you purchase an item, post on social media, or browse your favourite site you are leaving data that others can use to define the Digital You. This also includes events that happen in your life that others post online as well. In fact, studies show that companies can still predict your behaviour based on what people you know post on their social media.
At ScoresMatter we provide you with guides on how you can manage this part of the Digital You. You can receive tips on what you should have in your social media, and even how to create websites or blogs that can improve what people are seeing about you online. We also keep you up to date with the latest in privacy news so you can stay informed on any development that could affect the Digital You.
The items you can’t see
When you are looking to learn what exists about you online you probably start by Googling your name. While this has the potential to provide you with immediate information on the Digital You, it isn’t the only place details about you may exist online. In fact, some of your most private information may exist in a place called the Dark Web.
Search engines can not index the websites on the Dark Web. Which as you can imagine draws in all types of criminal behaviour. So it goes without saying that this isn’t a place you would want any personal details to end up.
With an increase in the number of breaches and scams, the sensitive details of the Digital You are more likely than ever to end up on the Dark Web. Once there, criminals will sell, buy, trade and compile your details until they have enough information to commit fraud.
At ScoresMatter we scan to see if criminals are selling your details on the Dark Web. We also provide you with tips to help you prevent your information from ending up on the Dark Web. It is the best solution to ensure you are protecting the Digital You.
