Personal Privacy Score (PPS)

Welcome to the Personal Privacy Score (PPS) Self-Assessment tool! This tool is designed to help you understand and improve your privacy practices in everyday life. Privacy is a fundamental right, and protecting your personal information is crucial in today's digital age. By taking this self-assessment, you can gain insights into how well you are safeguarding your personal data and what steps you can take to enhance your privacy.

What is the PPS?

The Personal Privacy Score is a measure of how well you are managing your personal data and privacy. Similar to a credit score, it provides a numerical representation of your privacy practices based on your responses to a series of questions. The PPS covers various aspects of data protection, including online behaviour, social media usage, device security, and awareness of your privacy rights. A higher score indicates better privacy practices, while a lower score highlights areas where improvement is needed.

 

Importance of Honest Responses

To get the most accurate and helpful results from the PPS Self-Assessment, it is essential to answer each question as honestly as possible. The tool is designed to help you identify areas where you can improve your privacy practices. Honest responses will provide a clear picture of your current privacy status and allow you to take targeted actions to protect your personal data better.

 

In addition to completing the self-assessment, we encourage you to explore the Personal Privacy Protection Guide below. This guide provides in-depth information on various privacy topics, helping you strengthen your understanding of data protection and apply best practices in your daily life.

Tracking Your Progress Over Time

One of the key features of the PPS Self-Assessment is the ability to track your privacy practices over time. After completing the assessment, you will receive a detailed report with your Personal Privacy Score and tips for improvement. You can retake the assessment every few months to monitor your progress and see how your score changes. This timeline feature will help you stay motivated and continuously enhance your privacy measures.

 

Encouragement to Regularly Use the Self-Assessment

We encourage you to use the PPS Self-Assessment regularly. Data privacy is an ongoing process, and staying informed about your practices is crucial for maintaining a high level of protection. By retaking the assessment periodically, you can ensure that you are up-to-date with the latest privacy trends and regulations and that you are consistently applying the best practices in your daily life.
