🔒 Privacy Redefined
🔒 Privacy Redefined
🔒 Your digital door
Privacy isn't about hiding - it's about control. Just like closing a door or whispering to a friend, privacy means choosing what you share, when, and with whom.
Online, this fundamental freedom becomes more complex. Digital interactions often lack the natural boundaries we expect in physical spaces.
Key insight: Privacy equals choice, not secrecy. It's about maintaining agency over your personal information in an increasingly connected world.
This principle applies whether you're casting a vote, having a private conversation, or managing your digital footprint.
