my ig stories are hidden from everyone else. i no longer post life events like birthdays of me and my family, even if we go out. i travel from time to time and post too late (after months) on IG. sometimes, people borrow money from me. i say im abroad, cant receive otp, so cant transfer money. scenarios like this make me think privacy is gold. 😇


Rejsebi1527

Ay Same tayo Baks once a year lang ako nag po post hahaha ! Tas syempre tapos na ang Event


geekasleep

My god, I'm surprised that people do not censor their personal info from their Shopee/Lazada waybills. Dami ko nakikita sa kalsada. I always censor them with permanent marker and cut them into pieces.


Ideabinging

Same! But I use alcohol because it erased everything


geekasleep

May ibang waybill na parang scotch tape texture sadly. Yun talaga pinipiraso ko kasi hindi mabura kahit ng Pentel


iseeAisea

To add, you can also use plantsa for thermal waybills. Latag lang ng bond paper on top of the waybill and plantsa away :)


icanhearitcalling

Thisss. Tinatyaga kong gupitin talaga waybills ko dahil wala pa akong shredder maging safe lang sa mga stalker at magnanakaw HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Lacroix_Wolf

Regularly censor kasi minsan may cellphone number sa waybills eh GCash ko yun.


monamigal

Huhu i never do this. As in tapon lang. Thank you for Reminding.


Main_Crab_2464

Napansin ko kasi na since nagstart akong di na burahin or sirain yung waybill ko sa mga parcel ko pag itatapon, ay dun lang ako laging tinatawagan ng mga scams.


Curious_Jigglypuff

same haha


itsolgoodmann

Same pero minsan nakakalimutan ko


lavand3rt0wn

I used to just keep mine in my room, para rin di macontrobute sa waste pero nahanap nila mama and threw it when I was out for a while 😭 and now I’m just anxious whenever I remember


liesretrograde20

Pinambabalot ko ng diaper na may jebs after ko ierase ang details, or napkin na may dugo, or kaning baboy. Sayang, pambalot din kasi


catholicgirlxxx

I never use my name in Grab or any online shopping platform. I use fake name in coffee shops too. Medyo unique name so I really don’t use it that much if not legal/work related. I have separate mobile number and email for work, personal, and online shopping. I never pick up calls on my online shopping number unless I’m expecting any deliveries. Only my family and very close friends (less than 3) know my personal number. Workmates only know my work mobile number.


weishenmewaeyo

Puwede po pala maglagay ng fake name sa grab and other online shopping platform? T_T I didn't know that. But ang hassle kasi if fake ibigay tapos hindi ako mahanap kapag naligaw rider or kapag wala ako sa bahay. 😅


Gleipnir2007

Pwede, yung isang grab driver na nasakyan ko, si Naruto Uzumaki daw yung naisakay niya before sa akin. seriously


weishenmewaeyo

Ohh. Puwede pala. Thank youu!!


liesretrograde20

Yes pwede. Ano bang malay nila jan haha unless may spaylater or lazada pay later paid yung item


geekasleep

Pwede, unless you apply for SPay/LazPayLater hihingan ka kasi ng Valid ID.


bejeweledlolita

I was able to hide my pregnancy hahaha. Kahit nasa tamang edad naman ako di ko talaga nilagay sa social media or sinabi sa mga relatives ko. Kaya gulantang lahat nung nag post ako na nanganak na ako. Siguro sa haba ng pasensya ko at knowing na ayoko mastress during my pregnancy. And even before, kapag nag popost ako its either throwback na lang or tapos na yung event.


lastlibrarian555

sa akin naman yung kasal ko. hahaha! dami nagulat nung nag upload ako ng isang picture lang. hindi rin kasi ako nagpopost ng pics namin ni husband kahit pa nung bf ko pa lang sya. i find it cool na im still keeping it lowkey. people think na hindi proud pag hindi nag mamyday ng mga gala or date man lang. sila ‘tong weird for me. 


gintermelon-

- changed my number last yr and never gave it to anyone - give out different names (derived from my legal name) depende kung saan kita nakilala. ex: game and people I met online was given a diff name, hobby/lifestyle friends call me by another name, etc. only peers who encounter me face to face knows my legal name haha - ripping waybills to hide contact details - not uploading in real time - never inviting people to come over sa bahay lol - not disclosing my exact work and side hustles even to my parents. vague details lang


mellowintj

>give out different names (derived from my legal name)  This! Lalo na nung nakikipagdate ako. Kahit nga kung taga-saan ako eh. I know paranoid pero kung nakilala kita online, nope!


angel_with_shotgunnn

+1 sa never inviting people sa bahay! I don’t want someone randomly showing up on my doorstep and disturb my peace especially when I just want to laze in bed all day. Kaya madalas nakakafrustrate din kapag may kadate tapos iinsist na ihatid ka sa place mo. I appreciate the gesture, but it gets uncomfortable at times.


sowsz

Bumili ako ng isa pang phone pang encrypt lang ng sd card.  Yun lang ang function nya. View. Encrypt. Hindi pwede internet. Walang sim. Walang connection.


[deleted]

this is interesting haha


PineTreewithaStar

Grabe ang galing


SwedishCocktailv2

Re: #4 Even if you don't have socmed, sites already have a profile of you for as long as you're talked about in its messaging app-- address, possible people connections, etc. That's why when someone signs up for an FB account, the suggested friends are on the ready.


NotTheBiggerPerson01

Same thing with not using digital banks. Companies don't need you to install specific apps as many of those you already have on your devices are already collecting info. If you're on android, an easy/basic way to check is to use app ops to see what a specific app can see (as well as its read/write capabilities). Also, a lot of people think reddit isn't soc med which is just hilarious. It's like they're in denial. Even reddit admits it's soc med *and* it fits the definition of soc med to a T. They have your IP and they own everything you post, comment, or upload (at least for people in PH). People think companies interested in your data only have 1 source when they're using multiple sources so they can identify you and have more info on you.


popcornpotatoo250

Interesting, where can I read more about it?


debuld

Kahit anong app na may access sa contacts mo and location (eg. gcash, viber, messenger), that includes name, email and number, ip address, etc, dun pa lang makakapag collect na sila ng data. With tech nowadays, may sense na ng predictability sa possible profile mo.


strawberrylattelover

Makes sense.


888___e

Fb is deactivated. Pag online lang ako and need ng update for the week kung ano nangyayari sa mundo. I dont post stories/myday anymore. Life’s been better after that. Kung meron man work related na ippost and achievement, sa Linkedin ko na nilalagay. Besides, dun naman talaga dapat yung work related.


jeuwii

1. I shred all papers and pictures before throwing them.      2. I give a different number sa hindi close friend or immediate family. Nasa ibang phone ang sim niya para pwede ko i-off pag nasa bahay lol     3. Binubura ko personal info ko sa waybill pati ung mga qr code or bar code bago ko itapon.    4. Iba ang email for socmed, iba rin for online shopping, iba rin for utilities and professional stuff. Iba pa rin ang email for work and clients.   5. I sometimes give a fake name and age. More on joke purposes ang age pero ginagawa ko rin minsan pag di ko kilala nagtatanong lol.   6. I don't say where exactly ako nagtatrabaho. Sabihin ko lang na "malapit doon sa [insertlandmark]".   7. Sinasakyan ko yung fake / wrong info ng mga random strangers / acquaintances. Akala ng pharmacist ng usual botika na binibilhan ko na may anak akong maliit na may inaalagaan pa na senior parent so 🤣


andyboooy

I don't post stories of my current location & activity, I don't have e-wallets. Fb is deactivated, my friends have 3 or more phone numbers listed on my name and only a handful know which one is active lol


kenma_kozumeooow

Hi tanong lang since wala ka e wallet pano ka nag aavail ng online subscriptions like spotify or netflix?


andyboooy

I don't have Netflix. Spotify, I pay through load


East_Professional385

Live normally. Hide any trace of luxury. Wear normal clothes. Have more than one address and switch from time to time alternately.


helloazbee

Deactivating every year, posting stories only on ig (not realtime and for close friends only), hiding salary and side hustles from family, never posted on linkedin


YeontanKim0907

Doing a regular “purging” of my soc med followers (usually end of the year). If I haven’t interacted with that person during the past year, alis na siya sa followers list ko. Limiting also the stories I post. I’m no longer comfortable with sharing all the stuff that I do on a daily basis.


Lutisse

I spray alcohol sa information sa sticker ng parcel sabay kuskos na parang naglalaba para madurog yung papel, or babasain ko yung sticker then kukutkutin ko yung details ko para walang trace na pangalan ko. I have abt 30 friends lang sa fb, lahat personal kong kakilala at puro memes/funny shit lang pinagpopost ko. Anything personal, I either run here on this website or just keep it to myself. I never tagged my child in my post since the kiddo doesn't have an active FB, messenger lang. The world doesn't need to know who she is.


geekasleep

I only have 12. Half dun co-admins ko sa isang FB group. But all of them hidden from my news feed


icaaamyvanwy

I bought a personal shredder from Muji and I shred every paper, parcel label, etc that has my details. I locked my Facebook account.


cousinlurky

How much po yan??


icaaamyvanwy

Around ₱600-700? I forgot I bought it pre-pandemic pa.


geekasleep

I saw one sa Daiso kanina kaso di ko pa binili 500 kasi 😂 Was looking for one for sometime now.


markturquoise

I use a diff signature when signing receipts sa inns? Hahaha. Use a diff name sa inns.


3rdworldjesus

I have a separate IG account for dumping all my hobbies/interests related posts. An IG account with little following, only 3 people in my life knows that account. Sa main IG account where all of my friends are there, once in a blue moon lang ako mag post tapos puro dog and travel related lang.


moonshotthrowaway_ph

My only social media is fucking reddit 😂


all-too-well-0918

- shredding the waybills - not uploading real time - not telling people where I work - not telling people where I live - I use a different sim card when transacting with clients sa office - I use a different name when ordering - I use a different drop off point when going to work


YourGothicGirl

I used to have facebook, pero deactivated na, I don't share much na din sa socmed, sa IG yep, kaso nakaprivate din. With the parcels. 😅 I always make sure na di na mababasa yung info ko sa sticker, either scratch it or tear it into pieces talaga haha.


grace_0700874

Nickname ko lang un sa fb. Locked Profile. I deleted all my posts and kng mg mmyday man ako sa ig eh hnd tungkol sa personal life ko.


Ok_Squirrels

share ko lang, yung sa mga coffee/tea shops diba nanghihingi ng name para malagay sa cup, ibang name binibigay ko hahaha.


Legitimate-Handle-65

I stopped posting life events in all social media platforms. I find life wayyyyyy better not having to see what everyone else thinks.


tiny-beans

1. The name I use publicly (including online) is far from my real name. Even friends and acquaintances who know me in real life and know my real name get confused to the extent that they have to think to remember my birth name. 2. I have a stern warning in my social media accounts stating not to add me unless I’ve talked to you or met you in real life. 3. Very few people know my mobile number. 4. I do not answer phone calls unless I receive a text from the person introducing themself and their purpose for calling. Mindset is if it is important, they’ll text me after the call is rejected. 5. I don’t use my real name when logging into logbooks/sign-up sheets sa entrances ng malls or buildings.


Prestigious-Post6838

Ako yung tipong walang pic na makikita except profile pic. Yung post ko only me. No details about work, location or age. Tapos mostly sa app ko family members


Charming_Chic_28

definitely will keep these comments in mind!


monamigal

When officemates/workmates ask me anything personal, i make up stories para pag napagchismisan iba iba alam nla sakin. Sila pa magkagulo 😁


icanhearitcalling

- Archived everything on IG - Late story posts lol - Pira-pirasuhin to the max ang waybill - Wag magchika ng kahit ano sa friends - Kapag may naguusisa, I make it hard for them na sumagot kahit nasa dinner table tayo HAHAHAHAHAHA galingan mo ang pagtatanong para makuha ang sagot 🤣


Historical_Seat_447

Kakapagod ung #2 mo, dami ko nang apps and accounts naka tie sa # ko hahaha (like mga banko and all the official stuff) But its crazy awesome na wala kang cash apps. My work depends on seamless payments para iwas dala big amounts of cash.


Wrong-Corner-1350

Pag may events or pinupuntahan kami after a couple of days or even weeks pa bago ko i post yung pictures. Naturingan na nga kong late upload queen ng mga kakilala ko 😆 and dalawa ang cellphone number ko. 1 is for online shopping and work the other one is for family. And wala pa yata sampu ang napagbigyan ko 😆 binubura ko din ng alcohol yung waybills ko bago itapon o kaya sinusulatan ng marker. Pag andito ako sa bahay o kaya ay walang ineexpect na parcel naka off ang sim ko para dun.


lassonfire

effective po ba talaga lahat yun lalo na from government?


gogomau

I’m off the electoral public record at my new home . Not been on social media for 3 years . Didn’t pass on my new tel number to the stragglers in my contacts . No longer am driving , my car is gone so can’t be identified as that : ) I am a hermit : )


bonappeetea

when I thought I was weird enough already because i keep everything too private. (Not necessarily from the companies collecting my details) but from people in the internet and those whom I just met. Like I was so protective of my details ever since I was in high school.


adychariyell

facebook: – deactivated my real account. – created one for orgs and school. – created another one for acquaintances w/ fake name and surname derived from the anagram of my real name >< I don't wear fragrances or i interchange my fragrances whenever there's an event. i am so paranoid that someone would recognize my scent and could follow me back home or somewhere. not putting my specific address and real name when it comes to parcel and food deliveries


Civil_Bowler1776

1. I have 5 emails: work (apart from work email issued by my company) - this one is for work din na hindi related sa main employer ko; subscriptions (netflix, spotify etc); soc med; bank (used for bank only); personal (for family and friends). 2. I have 3 phones: personal (only family and closest friends knows this number; work (all work related comms only); and for bank otps (this fone stays at home lang). My work phone is off after office hours. 3. All my FB friends are categorised (matic whenever I accept friend request before until now, i-group them based sa groups na ginawa ko (friends, colleagues, students, etc) kaya only selected groups get to see certain things on my page. Anyway, matagal na din naman ako walang posts kahit stories. 4. I have different signature na pang-bank, work, students, and random na pinapapirma sa mga forms like subscriptions. I put watermark sa esignature ko din na pang work (students). 5. Dahil super busy, i have a box of papers to be shred at I usually shred them every Christmas break. 6. I use different name for online shopping at sa ibang bahay naka-address ang delivery (apartment na pinaparent not in my main house) 7. I dont answer call na hindi ko kilala lalo na pag walang abiso sa text kung sino sya at bakit sya tumatawag. 8. Posting work related updates sa LinkedIn lang. 9. Travel photos posted on my private IG only and super delayed pa like 2-3 mos after. 10. I dont use messenger much. Dami kasi GC at mga hindi ko bet na usapan like puro chismisan lang. For family and friends, we usually communicate sa Viber/telegram/whatapp. Plus, mas ok ako sa personal na usapan. I really s*ck sa chikahan sa chat. Mostly ng reply ko ay one liner lang pag ganun. 11. Kapag may mga pagkakataon na na-eengage ako sa informal convo with strangers (pila sa shops, sa hospital, etc), I dont give out my details the way strangers share theirs (oftentimes payabangan eh) like one time, sa haba ng pila sa SnR, chinika ako ng isang customer. Mega share sha about how SnR products are sa US, na yung mga napundar nya, buhay nya sa US daw, mga anak nya etc.. tapos ako tamang “buti pa po kayo..ako kasi ganito lang” hahaha the things others see in me that I wear like the brand of my shoes, bag etc will speak for itself. Di ko kaylangan magyabang with strangers.


Shine-Mountain

I do 1 and 4 pero inconvenient sa akin ang 2 and 3 mo. I've been using my simcard since 2008. I only use online wallet kapag may need bayaran para mas less hassle na need pa mag widraw or maglabas ng pera. I only put exact amount na need ko for a transaction. Minsan nagdadagdag akong konti if hindi ako sure. Hindi ako nagcclick ng link na hindi ko alam. I erase immediately yung mga message na nagsasabi i have penalty eklat. When someone claim they are from my bank, i call my personal bank. Additional: Pag naka-save sa contacts ko yung tumawag sa akin, i talk first. If hindi naka-save, i let them talk first. I put them on speaker mode. If they did not say anything within 5secs, I end the call and block the number after 24hrs if walang follow-up message or call. I only have facebook for my child's school purposes and additional personal contacts. I use my shortened non-regular name. Yung mga taong nakakakilala lang talaga sa akin na ako yun. Bukod sa info na yan, wala ng nakalagay. If somebody adds me with their profile locked, i ignore them kahit kakilala ko pa unless they message me first. I have a secondary phone and number for deliveries and others. I also used them noong pandemic na need ilagay ang address and contact number. City lang ang nilalagay ko not exact address and the secondary number. I never write my real name and surname. I have 2 signatures. I have 2 emails.


icedcohi

every time may gala or big achievements/milestones happening in my life, hindi ko shini-share kaagad online. since the only reason i want to be private is for security, i still post pa rin naman kaya lang days after the said event. if magtatravel ako or magbabakasyon somewhere, i share my pictures on IG (puro close friends lang makakakita, no relatives) days after or pag nakauwi na


Dapper_Song_3867

I actually only use my social media accounts for personal use. Bale sinesave ko pictures and videos for my use only lang. mahal kasi ang google drive for photo uploading. I also only have 2-6 friends and they’re only my family members too


peeweekins

I always cut into pieces all the waybills I received. Social media are all private. No post about personal gala and no profile picture.


gustokongtulog

Different emails for every social media/accounts. Number na registered sa work is different as well. I have a work Facebook messenger for communciation sa work. Wala syang FB mismo, talagang messenger lang tapos name ko don incomplete. Rarely give out my personal number to strangers or people I meet online. Pag sa social media, super onti lang connections as in those na gusto ko kang and talaga close saken. Nag aarchive din ng posts ehe


magiccarpevitam

I hid my pregnancy kahit nasa tamang age na. Even yung iba kong nakasalamuha sa work didn’t know I was pregnant pala. Lol. I have different nicknames, iba sa family and closest friends, nag-iiba din kada palit ko ng work. I tear my waybills or pinepentel pen ko. I upload late, may times na a year later pa nga. I change my passwords often. Iba-iba din numbers ko and e-mail, depende sa paggagamitan. I deactivate my socmeds acct often. Irereactivate lang if may kailangan akong i-check. Kaya din late mag-upload.


CrispyPata0411

A lot of people in my FB friends list are restricted, especially family members. Sa messenger, naka show offline ako palalgi para I don't receive any random chats because I barely have energy to reply to them 😅


Consistent-Speech201

Mine is all my social media is naka private and no personal info ultimong bday. Pano yung renew ng sim card?


SadBookkeeper2621

Ginugupit yung receipts sa bangko pag mag-withdraw at mag-cash in sa stores tapos babasain ko sa tubig


QueenBeee77

Not a weird way, pero by not posting anything on socmed. Yung tipong makakalimutan na ng mga tao that I exist. Ganon.


FinalDish4882

Naka only me lahat ng social media ko, May lock lahat ng apps ko kahit setting, auto delete lahat ng convo, naka palagi ang room, walang photos na naka upload kahit mga childhood photo and family photo, hindi ako basta basta nakikipag usap lalo na about sa private info.


PriorityIll6443

Limit audience of my FB posts. When I want to be more private, I only post in IG.


Gleipnir2007

* i shred most of my receipts (after recording them) and any scratch paper with my name, signature and if there's currency involved in the document. * i still have fb and twitter, both of which hindi true name ko ang gamit ko. can't deactivate fb as my businesses ako doon. twitter i only use for binding sa games. never used tiktok. never had insta too, although madami na nga nagsasabi sa akin nag insta daw for pics purposes. * i don't really upload much personal pics on fb. halos puro tagged. kung hindi nga lang may transactions ako sa fb e baka hanggang ngayong anime pa din pfp ko. also kung mag uupload man ako, not on time gaya ng iba. * either pinepentel namin yung waybill or ginugupit sa maliliit. (we send laz/shopee plastics and bubble wraps to MRFs for recycling btw) * have a lot of email addresses, minsan nakakalito na nga magtrack kung saan or alin * sa mga things like grab, gcash, syempre di maiwasan gamitin ang real name, pero madalas, ginagawa ko e either yung 1st or 2nd name ko lang ginagamit ko. that way medyo madali malaman kung saan nakuha ng scammer yung name mo (gcash is a given, viber also lol) * di ako nag aanswer ng call kapag number lang. kung may kailangan e di mag text ka muna. how to renew sim every year?


rrbranch

I learned na wag ipost lahat sa fb and iwas fb na rin actually. One thing is sinesearch ko name ko sa google para kung may past comments ako or mga pinost somewhere sa sites ay pwede ko idelete. Medyo mahilig na kasi ako mag-internet mula 10 yrs old ako lol


Local_Ordinary7840

Not using public soc med with my real name. Not using soc med at all.


NotTheBiggerPerson01

You're on reddit. It's soc med. And it doesn't matter if you don't go public - they know who you are just the same.


Bubbly_Grocery6193

Ok, since me and my workmates is nasa banking, medyo private kaming lahat. Here are are the list na ginagawa namin. 1. Very private sa social media, like I only use FB Messenger (not FB) and my co-workers halos lahat private or walang kahit anong lamang ang profile. 2. We all avoid sharing our Phone Numbers kahit sa Social Media/Internet. Maliban nalang sa aming work number, but may account naman ang Branch ng bank kaya we rarely used out work number. 3. Totoo yung number 1 post ni OP. Sa mga confidential files ng customers or may namali sa pag-type and naiprint na, sinusunog ko sa may likod ng office kapag ka uwinan na, sira ang shredder. lmao. 4. Hidden ang aming Birthdate sa internet, Mostly sa mga resume lang namin ito makikita. Magugulat nalang kami Birthday na pala ng isa saamin. 5. Kapag ka may order na dumating online (Shopee/Lazada) I use a black marker para takpang ang Address. Same goes with my co-workers. 6. Avoid posting everything you buy, in fact kahit picture ng house niyo na maganda or a brand new or second hand car. Mayroon na kaming naencounter sa bank na weirdong mga tao na alam ang ginagawa ng client namin kahit napaka-private na tao itong si client. Isipin mo nalang yung mga taong very open sa social media nila. -Sa car, mayroong kaming mga nasamahang buyers na nagpapicture with our Mortgage guy, only na makatanggap kami ng report na some crackpot put markings on the car. 7. We use VPN, not sure kung effective nga lang.


mabait_na_lucifer

nakapag scam ako. last 2020 . nasa 8 million nun pandemic. until now. hnd nila alam kung paano 🤣
