Own a smartphone? Do you keep it secured or locked when it is not in use? (You know you should!) Do you keep it secured or locked with a finger pattern or passcode? If so, do you clean your screen regularly?
That sounds like an odd question doesn't it. There is a good reason however. If your screen does get dirty, have you ever noticed that your fingers leave behind fingerprints and patterns of where they have moved across the screen? If someone wishes to unlock your phone and use it, without your permission, all they need to do is to study the marks on your screen, and they'll have a decent chance of working out what the swipe pattern or passcode is. Kind of makes going to the trouble of securing your phone not worth much at all. If you clean your screen regularly however, this will help protect your privacy.
