Wikipedia defines Digital Footprint as:

"A digital footprint is the trail of data that is left behind by users on digital services.[1] There are two main classifications for digital footprints: passive and active. A passive digital footprint is created when data is collected about an action without any client activation, whereas active digital footprints are created when personal data is released deliberately by a user for the purpose of sharing information about oneself."

WHO ELSE IS ONLINE?

SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT WHO THEY SEEM ONLINE
Just because you are using the internet in a positive way does not mean everyone else is.

Cyber criminals hide out online, waiting to steal your money, passwords, identity, or control of your computer. Worse they may be looking to physically harm you or your children.

KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE DOING ONLINE
Children are easily tricked into giving out personal information online which can lead to dangerous situations. http://youtu.be/DkQ8CcSL7TI
