No podemos saber exactamente lo que ocurre con nuestros rastros digitales cuando son creados, ni quién tiene exactamente acceso a ellos. Esto en sí ya es un problema. Aunque esta situación puede parecer desesperanzadora, existen maneras sencillas para que sepas mas acerca de los rastros digitales que vas generando, reducir su cantidad e incluso borrar cierto tipo de rastros. Algunas empresas y gobiernos se benefician enormemente del entorno de recopilación y análisis de datos habilitada por el sector de la tecnología y quieren por lo tanto que nos demos por vencidas y creamos que “así deberían ser las cosas". Sin embargo puedes controlar mejor lo que se conoce o lo que se da a ver acerca de ti sin tener que renunciar por completo al uso de los celulares, ordenadores, correos electrónicos y redes sociales. El truco reside en entender que se trata de un proceso de aprendizaje que requiere implementar pequeños cambios en tu forma de utilizar la tecnología y los varios servicios digitales. Mucho de ellos resultan divertidos y se vuelven cada vez mas interesantes a medida que aprendes más acerca de como funcionan las tecnologías, y como puedes volverte juguetona con los rastros digitales que generas.

We can't know exactly what happens to our digital traces when they're created, nor who has access to them. This itself is a problem. Although this situation might seem dire, there are a number of very simple ways you can learn more about the kind of data traces you're creating, who likely has access to them, as well as how to reduce the quantity and types of digital traces. Some companies and governments want users to give up and believe that this is the ‘way things should be’, because they are profiting enormously from the data collection and analysis environment enabled by the technology sector. Nonetheless you can begin to better control and reduce what is known about you without completely walking away from mobile phones, computers, email and social networks. The trick is to understand that it’s a process of learning and making small changes in how you use technology and various digital services. A lot of it is quite fun and interesting as you learn more about how technology works, and how to be playful with the data traces you create.
