    • The app has confirmed that you own hiking boots.

    • The app knows that you are hiking right now.

    Think about what the videos you watched suggest, even if they do not prove anything.

    You use private browsing on a shared computer. After you close all private windows, the browser does not keep those pages in its browsing history.

    • It hides your identity from every website you visit.
    • It hides your online activity from your internet provider.
    • It hides your browsing history from later users of that computer.

    Think about where the history is not being saved.

    Private browsing limits records on the device; it does not make you invisible online.

    • The store will never share your information with another company.

    Fíjate en cuándo se aplica la protección.

    Two services share their user records with each other. You use a different screen name on each service, but both records contain the same email address.

    • The screen names, because they are different.
    • A home address that neither record contains.
    • The email address that appears in both records.

    Busca un dato que los dos registros tengan en común.

    Es posible que los nombres de usuario diferentes no mantengan las cuentas separadas cuando coincide otro dato personal.

    ¿Qué cambia cuando desactivas esta configuración para compartir información?

    A fitness app lets you stop sharing activity data with advertisers. The setting says the app will still collect activity data to show your own progress.

    • The app still records your activity but stops sending it to advertisers.
    • The app stops recording all new activity.
    • The app erases all activity data that advertisers received earlier.

    Recopilar información y compartirla son acciones diferentes.

    Show solution

    • The app still records your activity but stops sending it to advertisers.

    Impedir que se comparta información en el futuro no necesariamente detiene su recopilación ni elimina las copias que ya se compartieron.
