For some local celebrities, privacy is an issue. Because it goes without saying that when you enter show business you become a public property. And keeping secrets to protect your personal life is indeed a challenging task.
Another great example to this, was reports coming out on the news about government websites being hack. But why would you go far, when sometimes even yourself was a victim of it.
One scenario from a good friend was shared to me.
He was at work confident about leaving his desktop open, one day, one coworker allegedly by accident opened one folder and saw a copy of payslip on his computer...and to make matters worst that person started gossiping about it.
A part of him he said got violated, so he went to the Human Resource to discuss about it. But unfortunately, another issue have been raised to him as to leaving his desktop open, plus the fact that any information you put in the computer, since it was an office property any one can access it, same goes to the idea that the company has the right also to access it.
He would have wanted a justice on the particular scenario, but since they do have a point...a friend of mine just took it as a very valuable lesson in his life that from now he should be very cautious about it.
You see, if you never wanted people to discover things that you put labelled as "PRIVATE," better to safeguard it. And you can only do this by taking some preventive measures.
One, when keeping file especially that of your personal username and passwords on any social networking sites, keeping them in your mails protected by your passwords is still one of the best option. Just make sure you log out your account so that no one can hacked it.
Two, in tangible things like your locker...make sure you always put a lock on it. Now, if it has a key do not leave it unattended. In some cases, you're giving people that surrounds you to open it because obviously the key is there.
And number three, if you never wanted to leave any traces of it...make sure to clean your own mess.
For example, when throwing old bills remember that receipt contains some basic information including your name and other related information about you that could be useful for some people. So before thinking of putting everything on a trash...think again.
If some people never really bother about your personal privacy, tell them that it matters to YOU...on your bold act today.
