15. What is Your Digital Footprint? Digital footprints are traces left by someone’s activity in a digital environment. There are two main classifications for digital footprints: passive and active. A passive digital footprint is created when data is collected about an action with any client activation, whereas active digital footprints are created when personal data is released deliberately by a user for the purpose of sharing information. A company’s or individual’s “digital footprint” can refer to the size of their online presence as it relates to the number of individuals they are interacting with.
