Shopping online, booking a trip, managing your bank account from your mobile phone, or simply signing up for a social network means leaving a trail. The worrying thing is that, often, <\/span>we are not aware of the extent to which our sensitive data is exposed<\/b>, or worse still, is already circulating on the network without our knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n In this article, we will discuss how to verify if your<\/span> sensitive data<\/b> has been compromised, what types of information are considered critical under the GDPR, and how to protect it with specialized tools, such as Qondar.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not all personal data is equally relevant or requires the same level of protection.

Qondar goes a step further than conventional platforms: it doesn’t just alert you if your email has been leaked, but also performs <\/span>a continuous surveillance on the open web, the deep web, and the dark web<\/b> to detect whether your sensitive data is being traded, shared, or used without your consent.<\/span><\/p>\n Qondar is part of a new generation of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) tools,<\/span> a proactive approach that enables you to anticipate potential cyberattacks rather than just react after they occur.<\/b><\/p>\n Thanks to its automated intelligence engine, Qondar monitors your <\/span>fingerprint <\/span><\/a>and alerts you in real-time if any information is compromised, including passwords, card numbers, identification documents, or sensitive personal data.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We recommend:<\/span><\/p>\n The reality is apparent: <\/span>Protecting your sensitive data is not optional; it is necessary. <\/b>.
