IP address & Email
Most people are concerned about their IP addresses. That's very easy to hide. Just use a VPN. Lots of companies are offering multiple devices if you buy a VPN account from them so that's all your laptops, phones, tablets and etc covered!
Use a TOR Browser or DuckDuckGo browser
Use an email address different from your personal. Make sure your username has nothing do with you(Name, Birth dates, Birth Places & etc.)
Posting Photos & Videos
When you take photos or videos make sure you don't have anything with personal info exposed(Like letters, parcel boxes, tattoos ..etc)
If you're uploading your video to YouTube, make sure you do it in a different account from your personal one.
Most of us are using mobile phones to take photos and videos, so make sure your location is switched off.
Use free software to strip all the metadata from the photos(If you're using GrowRoom420 Gallery that will be done automatically)
Mobile Phones
As mentioned above if you're using your phone, you can get a VPN as well to keep you safe.
Keep your phone well secure with a pin lock, fingerprint, iris recognition or whatever security it offers. Most phones offer App Lockers and Private Galleries so if you're to store any photos keep them locked in a Private Gallery with a different password.
Don't automatically save password and have auto log in function. Typing in your username and password only takes a few seconds but keeps you safe.
I'd recommend deleting all photos, videos and chats related to growing on a daily bases.
Additional security
Make sure you have the latest updates on your devices
Install Anti-Virus Software
Keep your software and browsers up to date
Don't share private information online
Keep your passwords and personal information secure
After all if you're not doing anything wrong, except from growing and being on the forum, you have nothing to worry about. Forum is fully secured and the rest just depends on you!
