Most privacy advice is a long list of everything you could possibly do, with no sense of which items matter. The honest answer is that a few habits prevent most real harm: unique passwords, two factor authentication on the accounts that reset everything else, a locked down phone number, and keeping your home address off the sites that sell it.
This quiz measures where you actually stand on the things that matter, across seven areas. Each question is weighted by how much that habit reduces real risk, not by how easy it is. At the end you get a score out of 100, a breakdown by area, and your fixes ordered by the improvement each one makes, with a realistic time estimate and a link to the tool or guide that does it.
Most people who lose an account are not targeted individually. They are caught by automated attacks that try leaked passwords across thousands of sites, or by bulk phishing messages. The habits in this quiz are the ones that break those automated attacks, which is why they carry the most weight.
Your email account and your phone number are the two keys to everything else, because password resets go to them. A score can look decent overall and still hide a single critical gap, such as text message codes on an email account with a reused password. The ranked fix list is designed to surface exactly that.
Privacy exposure also compounds. Your address from a people search site, your phone number from a breach, and your employer from a social profile are each harmless alone. Together they give a scammer enough to impersonate you convincingly or to sound convincing when they call.
Scores change as your habits change. Retaking the quiz after working through the fixes shows your progress, and a periodic recheck catches habits that have slipped.
Start with three checks: search your name and city in a search engine, run your email through a breach check, and look yourself up on the major people search sites. This quiz covers the habits that limit the damage, and its fix list links to the tools for each of those checks.
70 or above means the protections that stop most common attacks are in place. 85 or above is strong. The score matters less than the top fix on your list, which is the single change that most reduces your risk.
The fastest high value changes are turning on two factor authentication for your email account, replacing any reused password on your email and bank, and adding a port out PIN with your mobile carrier. Each takes under 15 minutes.
Only in your own browser, so you can finish later. Nothing is sent to our server unless you sign in, in which case your answers and score are saved to your account so you can compare results over time.
It is everything about you that can be found or bought online: social profiles, breach records, broker listings and public records. Reduce it by removing broker listings, tightening social media visibility, deleting old accounts you no longer use, and giving companies less data when you sign up.
Every three to six months, or after a major change such as a new phone, a breach notice or moving house. Scores drift as habits slip and new accounts are created.
