La Corriente cooperativa<p>🔐 Ayer nos contactó un socio porque últimamente recibe muchas llamadas de empresas que se hacen pasar por su comercializadora eléctrica, en este caso <a href="https://masto.es/tags/LaCorriente" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaCorriente</span></a> o su distribuidora.</p><p>Además de lo que compartimos en el artículo de nuestra web (<a href="https://lacorrientecoop.es/comunicado-atencion-a-las-llamadas-agresivas-de-comercializadoras/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lacorrientecoop.es/comunicado-</span><span class="invisible">atencion-a-las-llamadas-agresivas-de-comercializadoras/</span></a>), os dejamos algunas recomendaciones generales para proteger los datos personales en la era digital. </p><p>✅ ¿Cómo evitar que nuestros datos caigan en manos equivocadas?<br>🔹 Lee las políticas de privacidad: Antes de compartir información con una empresa o registrarte en un sitio web, revisa cómo manejarán tus datos.<br>🔹 No des información innecesaria: Si una aplicación o servicio solicita más datos de los que realmente necesita, desconfía.<br>🔹 Utiliza correos y números alternativos: Para registros en tiendas o promociones, puedes usar un correo secundario o un número virtual.<br>🔹 Configura la privacidad en redes sociales: Asegúrate de que solo personas de confianza puedan ver tus datos personales.</p><p>❌ ¿Qué hacer si una empresa ya tiene tus datos y no deja de llamarte?<br>📢 Pide que eliminen tus datos: Exige que dejen de llamarte y solicita que borren tu información de su base de datos.<br>📝 Apúntate a listas de exclusión: En algunos países existen registros donde puedes inscribirte para evitar publicidad no deseada. En el caso de España, la lista Robinson.<br>🔕 Bloquea los números: La mayoría de los teléfonos permiten bloquear llamadas de números específicos o catalogarlas como spam.<br>⚖️ Denuncia ante las autoridades: Si las llamadas persisten, puedes reportarlo a organismos de protección de datos o de defensa de las consumidoras y consumidores.</p><p>Cuidar nuestra privacidad no solo evita molestias, sino que también nos protege de riesgos mayores, como el robo de identidad 🕵️‍♂️</p><p>¿Nos ayudáis a seguir ampliando estas recomendaciones <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.es/@anarticoop" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>anarticoop</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.es/@Trex" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Trex</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@CorioPsicologia" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>CorioPsicologia</span></a></span> y quiénes estáis al día de estas cuestiones? 👇 </p><p><a href="https://masto.es/tags/seguridaddigital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>seguridaddigital</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/listaRobinson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>listaRobinson</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/privacidad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacidad</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/datospersonales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>datospersonales</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/protegetusdatos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protegetusdatos</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spam</span></a></p>
