Every person with an internet connection leaves digital traces behind during their activities in cyberspace. Sharing texts, Internet communications, photographs, and other files in an Internet environment allows, among other things, websites to collect information about us. Currently, the identity of persons is being misused, caused using data within the user's digital footprint. It is both a digital trace of the user's activity as a natural person and a trace of the user as an employee of the company. The article deals with the issue of digital tracks and methods of obtaining data on the Internet.
