Protecting yourself from Identity Theft
The internet is becoming a less secure place over the years. Everyday the ease of accidentally letting out personal information increases. Whenever you add a photo to Facebook or send a family photo to a loved one there is a chance that others, that you do not know, will obtain access to your photos. Once the data has been sent you will not get it back.
When you watermark a photo you it is like adding a seal of protection over your photo. Identity thieves love “private data”. The more they know about you the greater chance they have to impersonate you. By simply browsing online they have access to millions of peoples shared data as well as pictures of them. With your date of birth and a photo of you in hand they have all the tools they need to forge a drivers license; which is only a few steps away from registering a few credit cards.
Many people openly share their photos today, but that doesn’t mean it is any less safe to do so. On Facebook and MySpace people who are not even your friends can see your profile picture, unless you manually turn this off. A quick google search of yourself may even bring up photos of you!
