Electronic device security best practices


### Public Lab privacy and security guidelines

This document contains policies and recommendations followed by Public Lab staff for keeping digital data, devices, and private or sensitive data secure. 

There are a few simple things you can do to dramatically increase your security and prevent breaches. 

## What’s at risk?

Security and privacy is a broad topic, and the best way to begin is to identify what you’re trying to protect. Consider:

* What are you protecting? Names and addresses? Photos, health data, passwords, or secrets?
* Whose information is it? Who should it be kept from? What resources do they have to find it out?
* Where do you store or transmit information? Using your phone or laptop? By email, text message, or phone call? On Dropbox or Slack?
* Who are you trusting when you store or transmit information? Your colleagues? An online service? Your office neighbors? People who share your printer?
