After Some research finding information about me on the internet is extremely hard. Only using my actual name I was only about to find a empty Youtube account, which you would only be able to see my public comments. While using the many usernames I use online I was able to find my Youtube Gaming page, where over a year ago I used to post video's. although stopping due to no time to do it.
A slight problem was my username came up with many different options including lots of pictures of the Queen smiling. It also came up with my twitter account which just included a load of fandom stuff about my favorite TV show. As well as Minecraft skyblock forums where I express my option and concerns about certain events as well as helpful advice to players. IP: Skyblock.McSpacecraft.com
I found in conclusion. You can only find things about you online if you post things about yourself or if people send pictures of you. Although a lot of information is protected under the data protection law.

Digital FootPrint
Some People May not realize it by going on the internet you are leaving a trail.
Just by looking on your History you can see what your Digital footprint is like.
When it comes to passwords there is normally a option to save you password for if you log onto the same computer next time. Only if it a private computer do I suggest doing this. If you are using a public computer which anyone can onto DONT. As then people will be able to see your private information, and possibly change your password so you can never use that account again.
SO when you finish with a online service always log off before shutting down your computer, especially when it is a public computer, as it can cause the same problem.
Although Digital footprint can be helpful; In the case of Remembering your favorite websites with history buttons and bookmarks.

E-Safety
Staying Safe on the internet doesn't have to be hard.
If you follow these simple rules then you should stay safe.
When online with people you don't know keep your person information to yourself. Such information includes Second Name, Location, Phone Number, bank details or anything that you would give to a complete stranger on the street. The main rule is: If you would say it to a stranger in the street don't tell people.
If someone wont stop asking you questions about this, block them or come off the website.

Your first name is normally ok as there are normally thousands of people online that have the same name. Although you could also use a fake name online / username such as 'HappyQueen' although don't use that one as it's mine :P
Don't download files from people that you don't know or trust, as they could contain virus's that will break your computer if you don't have the right protection.
