Do you find it difficult to hide your private mails from your office colleagues? Do your colleagues like to stand behind your back watching your computer screen to keep track of your private web surfing activities? The most effective option is to stop surfing internet for your private purposes during office hours. This is the only way you can maintain privacy of surfing habits.
Your colleagues may not intend to snoop but one simply cannot resist the idea of knowing something more about the other person without his or her knowledge. There was a time when offices could afford high speed internet access but one could not do the same at home. This is no longer the case today. Today, you can even have high speed internet browsing facility in your cell phone. In such a scenario, investing in a smart phone and having your personal e-mail accounts registered in your phone is the best way of maintaining privacy.
Of course, your employees or colleagues will not misuse your private information but you will find it very difficult to keep track of online fraud possibilities if you surf the internet at home as well as at work. On the other hand, if you restrict yourself to home alone, you can be confident that a hacking attempt has taken place on your home computer.
If you are in a position where it is unavoidable to surf the internet in the office for your personal reasons, make sure you do not store any passwords or other private information and that you flush the history clean after you have completed your surfing to maintain privacy.
