This is the title of a Tim McGraw song ?I’ve loved since I first heard it when it was released in 2004.
?
It reminds us that we need to live life to the fullest while we can. But when doing so, we also need to consider our legacies, our personal information, and how information about us can impact our survivors when we are gone.?
?
Now is an excellent time to think about getting all these issues addressed before we go on business or personal trips to ensure we are not leaving our survivors guessing, or completely unaware, of our digital and other types of personal information items and how they should be handled if we're not around.?
?
Our July Tips looks at these issues of privacy after death and while traveling, and also provides three free PDFs (two checklists and one list of resources) that businesses and individuals alike have indicated they have found useful.
?
Below are the highlights from our July Tips. You can see the full Tips at the link provided at the end. A few thousand of our subscribers receive the Tips by email each month, and forward them (in whole and sometimes in part) to their co-workers to support their security, privacy and compliance training and awareness program. Individuals forward them to their family and friends. If you’d like to sign-up for them to share in this way, too, you can do so by filling in the box in the right side of our website at privacysecuritybrainiacs.com
