26、贷和借记卡。要记得把您的社会保障卡留在家里，不要随身携带。记得弄一份医保卡复印件，把其余的数字删掉只留最后的四位数字。把副本随身携带以防万一要在医生的办公室使用你的卡。当你要在工作场所、企业、你的孩子的学校或在医生的办公室共享信息之前，要问他们为什么需要这些信息，他们将如何维护它，以及不共享信息产生的后果。当你不再需要收据，信贷优惠，信贷申请，保险单，医生陈述，支票，银行对账单，过期收费卡，和类似的文件时，要及时做好撕毁工作。当你要将处方瓶扔掉时，要撕掉处方瓶上的标签。不要与任何提供免费健康服务和产品的人分享健康计划的信息。采取外发邮件到邮局收集箱或邮局。及时清除到达您的邮箱中的邮件。如果你将
27、好几天不在家，可以申请将你的邮件延迟送达。当你订购新的检查时，不要让他们邮寄到你的家里，除非你有一个锁着的安全邮箱。考虑选择退出信贷和保险的预先筛选提供邮寄。你可以选择出 5 年或永久。选择退出，请拨打 1-888-567-8688 或访问 。 3 个全国性信用报告公司经营的电话号码和网站。预先筛选可以提供许多好处。如果你选择退出，你可能会错过对信贷的一些优惠。二、保持你的个人信息在线的安全知道你一起分享你的信息是谁。存储和处理您的个人信息安全。1.警惕模仿6确保你知道谁获得了你的个人或财务信息。不要通过手机、邮件或互联网发送你的个人信息，除非你一开始接触就知道你在和谁打交道。如果一家公司声称
28、能与您的帐户发送电子邮件，要求提供个人信息，记住不要点击电子邮件中的链接。相反，输入公司的名称到 Web 浏览器，去他们的网站，并通过客户服务与他们联系。或者拨打您账单中列出的客户服务号码。询问该公司是否真的发送了请求。2.安全地处理个人信息在处置一台电脑前，要删除电脑中所储存的所有的个人信息。使用擦拭实用程序来覆盖整个硬盘。在处置一个移动设备前，一定要检查您的用户手册，服务提供商的网站，或设备制造商的网站，了解有关如何永久删除信息的内容，以及如何保存或传输信息到一个新的设备。从移动设备中删除所述存储器或用户识别模块（SIM）卡。删除电话本，已拨和已接来电列表，语音邮件，发送和接收，管理文件夹
29、，网络搜索历史记录和照片信息。3.加密数据保持你的浏览器处于安全状态。为了保护您的网上交易，最好要使用加密软件，从而打乱您通过 Internet 发送的信息，防止个人信息被窃取和泄露。如果您的互联网浏览器的状态栏中显示“锁定”图标，则意味着您的信息在传输的过程中是安全有保障的。因此，在你想通过网上发送个人信息或财务信息之前，一定要记得查看状态栏是不是有“锁”的图标。4.保护个人的密码记住给你的笔记本电脑，信用卡，银行卡和其他帐户设一个加强保护的密码。这个密码设置时一定要有创意：可以想一个特殊的短语，并使用每个单词的第一个字母作为密码。用其来替代号码中的一些单词或字母。例如， “我希望看到太平洋
30、”可能成为 1W2CtPo。5.不要在社交网站上发布太多的信息如果您发布太多有关自己的信息，身份信息窃取者可以找到你的生活信息，用它来“挑战”账户上的一些问题，并获得你的钱和个人信息。因此，考虑限制让一小群人访问您的网络页面是很有必要的。千万不要在可公开访问的网站上到处张贴您的全名，社会安全号码，地址，电话号码或账户号码。要时刻注意保护自己的个人信息，尽可能小范围的泄露。6.保护你的社会安全号码密切注意社会安全号码信息，在决定分享之前一定要问些问题。询问是否可以使用不同类型的身份。如果有人要求你分享你的 SSN 或您的孩子的 SSN，7一定要记得问以下问题：为什么他们需要它？他们将怎么使用它？
31、他们会怎样保护它？如果你不分享社会保障号码，将会发生什么样的后果？ 是否分享将由你决定。如果你不提供你的电话号码等个人基本信息，企业可能无法为您提供服务或让你享受某种利益。有时候你必须分享你的电话号码等基本信息。你的雇主和金融机构需要你的 SSN 来做工资和税务报表。企业可能会问你 SSN 以至于他们可以在你申请贷款，租房子，或注册实用服务时检查你的信用状况。 7.使用安全软件在电脑等电子设备上安装防病毒软件，反间谍软件和防火墙等。你可以按照你自己的意愿来设置时常更新这些保护措施。你也可以通过安装安全补丁的操作系统和其他软件程序，抵御入侵和感染，防止危害您的电脑上的文件或密码。8.避免网络钓鱼
32、电子邮件不要打开陌生人发来的文件，链接，或者下载程序。如果你打开了一个来自陌生人的文件时，你的系统可能会暴露计算机病毒或间谍软件，他们在你键入打开一个文件时捕捉你的密码或其他信息。9.明智的看待 Wi-Fi当你在咖啡厅，图书馆，机场，酒店，或其他公共场所，想要使用公共无线网络通过你的笔记本电脑或智能手机发送个人信息之前，一定要记得看看您的信息是否处于受保护状态。如果您使用的是加密的网站，它只能保护你发送的信息以及该网站上的信息。如果你使用一个安全的无线网络中，所有您发送到网络上的信息都将受到保护。10.锁上您的笔记本电脑只有在必要的时候才在你的笔记本电脑保留有关财务的信息。不要使用自动登录功能，尽管这个省了您的用户名和密码。当你用完电脑的时候一定要记得注销。只有这样，当你的笔记本电脑被盗时，小偷将难以得到你的个人信息。11.阅读隐私权政策这个是长期的，复杂的。但他们告诉你网站是如何保证其准确性，访问安全行，以及对其收集的个人信息的控制;它是如何使用这些信息，以及它是否提供信息给第三方。如果你没有看到或了解一个网站的隐私政策，可考虑在其他8地方做研究。资料来源：http:/www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0272-how-keep-your-personal-information-secure
