To protect your data's privacy and security, here are eight things you should never retain on your smartphone:
Avoid storing your Social Security Number on your mobile device, as it is a valuable piece of information that can be used for identity theft.
Avoid storing your bank account information, including account numbers and authentication credentials, on your mobile device.
Passports, driver's licenses, and medical records should not be stored on a mobile device. Consider cloud storage or password-protected apps.
If your device is compromised or accessed by unauthorized parties, it could result in privacy breaches or disgrace.
If you use your smartphone for work-related purposes, you should exercise caution when storing confidential or sensitive work-related information.
Ensure that all personal files stored on your smartphone are encrypted or secured with strong passwords.
Refrain from storing any additional PII on your smartphone, such as complete addresses, birth dates, or detailed personal histories.
