I gave this talk in October 2019 about ways that your digital and online habits can be tracked and what kind of data you inadvertently leak, along with tools that you can use to protect your privacy.

2. You are being tracked!

4. Take this
quick security
quiz
I share the same password across
different websites.
Should I leave my laptop in my hotel
room or car when I am elsewhere?
When should I click on a link in an email
message?
I don’t have to worry about the security
of any of my smartphone apps
I don’t need a phone PIN, I have nothing
to hide
