I have never been very private online. I usually post whatever I want with not too much thought. That being said, I think that in terms of raw data, the targeted ads I get etc. I think they have me pretty spot on. I don't think that a person's internet persona can even begin to graze who they actually are as a person. Most of the time people are pretty different in person than how they portray themselves online. This is not always intentional, how we see ourselves isn't always how we are.

When I googled myself, a lot of the things that I expected to show up did show up, but there were also a few things that I forgot about or didn't even realize was online. The first thing that pops up is my Linkedin. This is interesting because it is something I had to make and then didn't really edit much after that. It does make me realize that it is probably something I should look back at and edit. The second thing that pops up is my instagram, it was public for a little so that makes sense. The third thing that pops up is my Women's Lacrosse recruiting profile that I didn't even know I had because I was honestly never that good at lacrosse. The fourth link is my Hackerrank profile which surprised me a little bit just because I expected more things to show up first like my twitter or facebook.

In general, not as much shows up about me as I thought, I guess if I were to dig harder I would be able to find out more (like my address and phone number) but those don't really give that much information about me as a person. But then again, I don't know why there would be that much about me on the internet.
