A digital footprint is a trail of data that you leave on the internet. This can include; websites you visit, information you submit to online services, and emails you send. You can leave either a passive footprint or an active footprint. Your passive footprint is a trail you leave unintentionally like your search history that your search engine may save while you are logged in. Your active footprint is information that you intentionally submit online for example emails that you send, most people save their emails so you can remain online for years.
