This digital footprint is constantly growing, containing more data about the most intimate aspects of our lives. This includes our communications, whereabouts, online searches, purchases, and even our bodies. When the government has easy access to this information, we lose more than just privacy and control over our information. Free speech, security, and equality suffer as well.
We've put together this resource to help you understand your privacy risks, the protections in place to protect your privacy, and concrete actions you can take to limit the government’s ability to access your personal information.
Delawareans should not have to choose between using new technologies and protecting our civil liberties. When you know your rights — and your risks — you can better protect your privacy online and in the streets.

Protecting Your Digital Privacy Online
With more and more of our lives moving online, surveillance — whether by our government or corporations — can have devastating implications for our right to privacy. When everything we say, everywhere we go, and everyone we associate with becomes fair game, protecting your digital privacy online is more critical than ever.
The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. Protecting your digital privacy when you hit the streets will help keep yourself, your information, and other community members marching alongside you safe.
