What Is the Online Exposure Risk Quiz?
This quick quiz estimates how visible your personal information may be online, based on habits like account accumulation, reusing the same email or phone number across services, and how often you review your own digital footprint. It's a self-assessment, not a breach scanner — it does not search any databases or the internet.
The quiz takes about a minute and gives you a Digital Shadow Score out of 100, along with a breakdown of your biggest contributing habits and practical next steps.
How Is the Score Calculated?
Each of the 10 questions targets a specific exposure dimension — account accumulation, identifier reuse, public visibility, and privacy maintenance. Answers are weighted by how much they typically contribute to exposure, and combined into a score between 0 and 100, mapped to five risk levels from Low to Very High. The scoring logic is transparent and deterministic — the same answers always produce the same score.
