These changes take minutes and provide significant privacy improvements:

• Switch your search engine to DuckDuckGo or Startpage — they do not track or profile your searches
• Use Signal for messaging — it provides end-to-end encryption that even Signal cannot read
• Review social media privacy settings — limit who can see your posts, location, and personal details
• Turn off location services for apps that do not need them — most do not

These changes require no technical expertise and no sacrifice in daily functionality. They simply redirect your activity from surveillance-based services to privacy-respecting alternatives.
