Like leaving breadcrumbs in the forest, individuals leave a data trail throughout their day. This talk will look at practical ways to leave a smaller data wake. Privacy isn"t dead. Time, money and effort are needed to maintain and live outside the data collection mechanisms that are now
part of society.
Level of privacy achieved
How easy it is to lose one's privacy...
This is not a talk to look at the ways in which your data is shared, but a look at examples and methods by which one can minimize sharing the data in the first place. Topics to be covered include communications, money, medical, travel, shopping, rubbish and major life events. The key is to not leave any data, but, when one must leave data, leave it in a way which it won"t trace back to you.
