Three out of ten Spaniards admit spying on their partner online



Half openly shares the passwords of their devices and a quarter has their fingerprints recognized on the devices of their partners



    Young couples talk more about whatsapp than over the phone and the mobile phone has become (sadly) one more in anyone's romantic dinners. Love is also increasingly digital. In this context, the role of privacy and transparency in our relationships is changing due to the presence of devices and online activity.

A recent report by Kaspersky Lab and Toluna reveals alarming data such as that 33% of respondents admit to spying on their partners online or that half of them openly share passwords to access the telephone. "We must be aware that when we open the door of our digital life, we are exposing many things," they warn from Kaspersky.

    A curiosity is that the figures are different depending on whether the couple is going through a good time or not. According to the survey, couples who recognize being "unhappy" are more likely to think their privacy is in danger (31%) while only 15% of "happy" feel it.

In fact, less happy couples want to keep some of their activities private (76%), compared to 54% for those who are in a satisfactory relationship. Among the main issues that are often hidden is the content of the messages that are sent to other people , how they spend their money, some personal files and the websites visited.

Couple discussions
Privacy and online activities are a matter of discussion in couples: one in three (33%) has argued after one of the two has seen something that the other did not want to share.

Having a partner and privacy online is possible. There are tools such as Kaspersky Password Manager that allow you to hide messages and calls, erase browsing history and block any attempt to collect data by stopping any pop-up ads related to your searches.
