FREE WEBINAR - YOUR DIGITAL LEGACY, TUESDAY 23rd AUGUST 11am
Every day, without realising it, we are leaving digital footprints as our digital legacy. These can be a valuable treasure for those we leave behind, but they can also leave you open to identity theft and fraud if you don’t plan for your digital legacy.
nbn®, COTA Queensland and U3A Network Queensland would like to invite you to join us on this FREE Webinar taking place during WILLS WEEK, that will cover how you can manage and plan for your Digital Legacy.
