By limiting the people and companies that have access to your data, you can protect yourself from intrusive marketers, fraudsters, and other cyber criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five people you should not share your data with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Anyone who calls you out of the blue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While more and more people are letting calls from \u201cunknown\u201d or \u201cprivate\u201d numbers go to voicemail, many of us still, from time to time, get caught answering a call from someone we don\u2019t know. Whether it\u2019s a company selling cleaning services, a charity asking for a donation or a supposed family member calling for financial help, it\u2019s best to avoid sharing your personal information or any financial details. In fact, if someone calls asking for money, it\u2019s a good idea to simply hang up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: If you\u2019re interested in the services or charity you\u2019re being called about, do your own research and call the organization directly through their publicly listed number. And if you get a call from a family member asking for money, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/discover.rbcroyalbank.com\/how-to-protect-your-family-from-cyber-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-83516-0c62a1f5\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"these tips\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">these tips<\/a> to avoid being a victim of the grandparent impersonation scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Anyone who sends a text or email requesting your information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Email and text scams (also known as phishing and smishing) are wildly popular around the world \u2013 every year, tens of millions are dollars are lost to text and phishing and smishing attacks! While texts and emails can appear to come from legitimate companies and have a seemingly logical reason for asking for money, reputable organizations will never ask you to share sensitive information (such as login credentials, passwords or payment information) by following a link in their message. Take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/money-academy\/cyber-security\/understanding-cyber-security\/dont-bite-how-to-protect-yourself-against-phishing-scams\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-83516-aeb4aa8d\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"popular text message scams\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">popular text messag<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/money-academy\/cyber-security\/understanding-cyber-security\/text-message-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-83516-aeb4aa8d\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"popular text message scams\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/money-academy\/cyber-security\/understanding-cyber-security\/dont-bite-how-to-protect-yourself-against-phishing-scams\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-83516-aeb4aa8d\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"popular text message scams\" class=\"rbc-link-format\"> scams<\/a> to understand common tactics used by fraudsters and these tips to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/money-academy\/cyber-security\/understanding-cyber-security\/dont-bite-how-to-protect-yourself-against-phishing-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-83516-918dc2ba\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"protect yourself from phishing\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">protect yourself from phishing<\/a> scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Your social media network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While social media platforms can provide great ways to connect with people, discover trends and stay up to date with news and events, they\u2019re not great places to share personal information about yourself. While it may be intuitive to not share your driver\u2019s license, credit card or passport numbers, what many people don\u2019t realize is that sharing other information could be equally dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you\u2019re asked to join a challenge or otherwise share details such as your mother\u2019s maiden name, where you graduated from, the name of your first pet or the street you grew up on, be sure to decline. These are all common security questions that hackers could use to access other accounts, including your financial accounts. It\u2019s even easier if your email address is also listed in your social media profile. It\u2019s best to limit the amount of information you post in the first place and stay clear of requests for seemingly harmless personal details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Every store clerk who asks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When making a purchase at many retail stores, shoppers are often asked for their email address, phone number, postal code \u2013 or any combination of this data \u2013 before finalizing the checkout. The reality is, retailers don\u2019t need this information to complete the sale. They simply want to capture as much information as possible so they can send you special deals and offers. While the savings can be appealing, giving your information away to too many stores could result in a cluttered inbox or even your data getting in the wrong hands should that retailer experience a data breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next time you\u2019re asked, politely decline and explain you prefer not to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. App developers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While free apps and software can seem like a great way to access tools and games on your phone, tablet or computer, these apps are very rarely no-strings-attached. While they may be touted as \u201cfree,\u201d you end up paying with your personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a 2022 study by data removal company <a href=\"https:\/\/incogni.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-83516-b249d92e\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Incogni\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Incogni<\/a>, many apps share highly sensitive information such as your approximate location history, your email address, name, home address, photos and even in-app messages. These pieces of information could be shared with third parties, which may include marketers and data brokers that sell your personal information for profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, your personal information is just that \u2013 personal. The good news is, you have a great deal of control over who gets access to it. By deciding not to share your data with people and companies who really don\u2019t need it, you\u2019re taking important steps to protect your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
