Your Data is Showing
Protecting Your Privacy in the Surveillance Economy
Protecting Your Privacy in the Surveillance Economy
Smart speakers and digital assistants like Alexa, Google and Siri eavesdrop on the conversations you have at home and work, sharing your preferences and behaviors with their “partners”. Super cookies collect your browsing history even when you have cookies turned off, selling your privacy to the highest bidder. Mobile phone providers track and trade your location while social media sites like Facebook and Instagram build psychographic dossiers that classify you according to your attitudes, aspirations and psychological profile. And you sit there, unaware, both a fan and victim of the two faces of technology: convenience and surveillance.
Your Data is Showing focuses on taking back your privacy with skills that apply across the ever-changing tactics of clever marketers, digital advertisers and cyber criminals. From limiting your exposure on Google properties (Google Search, YouTube, Maps, Android devices, Google Home, etc.) to locking down your Facebook profile, Your Data is Showing is solution heavy. If time allows, John will workshop with your audience, phones and social media profiles in hand, so that they walk out of the room without being tracked by every app and device they own. This is a HANDS-ON, highly interactive presentation.
