How to protect your privacy when you travel

It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers,at least so far.Data leaks,surveillance(监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious.　1　 Fortunately,there are ways to protect your privacy on land and in the air.These tips can help you deal with these troubles. 

　2　 “It’s not clever to declare on Meta that you’re traveling to somewhere,reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny McLoughlin.“That puts your safety at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos. 

Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras.Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance(监视) devices.If the rental comes with cameras,ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep.　3　 

Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data,you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble.　4　  

But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel.For example,a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in.You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him or her to write your room number on a piece of paper.Why?　5　 Just to be sure,never leave the customer copy behind.You can destroy it later,but keep it under your control. 

A.It’s never been better.

B.Perhaps they should be.

C.Travelers say they’re taking privacy seriously.

D.Never broadcast your journey on social media.

E.There are other people on the other side of the wall.

F.Some travelers only offer the bare minimum,such as a P.O.box instead of a home address.

G.Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear,leave.
