Huge number of Spaniards feel uneasy entering personal data online

Over half of Spaniards feel uneasy when they put their personal data in the digital environment, saying they are aware of what can happen when information is shared.

According to this report about personal data online, more than half of Spaniards (52 per cent) are concerned about sharing personal information via mobile or computer, 4 per cent more than the world average percentage.
