Abstract: The present paper aims to study what kind of information can be gathered about a person as a consequence of using the Internet and new technologies in general, in other words, what is the digital footprint (or digital identity) and how is it generated, how users data is compiled, what can this data be used for, and finally how can digital identity influence people's life, describing which measures can be taken to avoid adverse effects or, on the contrary, to promote a favourable digital reputation. In a world where digitalisation and interconnection are steadily increasing, this concept is of crucial importance. The ability to identify an individual is key to the information and knowledge society, either to offer services to citizens or to get an economic or social benefit. Getting to know these applications, as well as digital reputation managing strategies, seem to be valuable abilities for future citizens. To answer those questions, we are going to study the digital footprint content and its generation mechanisms, active and passive, as well as legitimate and illegitimate uses of our data. At the same time, citizens concerns stand in contrast to their absolute lack of knowledge about the protection mechanisms available. Therefore, we will suggest some procedures to improve digital reputation.
