What is the PPS?

The Personal Privacy Score is a numerical measure of how well you are managing your personal data and privacy. It covers online behaviour, social media usage, device security, and awareness of your privacy rights.

Honest Responses

To get the most accurate results, answer each question as honestly as possible. Honest responses give a clear picture of your current privacy status and allow you to take targeted action to better protect your personal data.

Track Your Progress

After completing the assessment, you will receive a detailed score and improvement tips. Retake the assessment every few months to monitor your progress and see how your privacy practices evolve over time.

Regular Use

Data privacy is an ongoing process. By retaking the assessment periodically, you can ensure that you are up to date with the latest privacy trends and consistently applying best practices in your daily life.
