ENCRYPTION TODAY Encryption prevents third parties from reading your data Data can be anything from websites to personal text

messages and pictures There is a third type of encryption needed today: one that

will prevent corporations from reading your diary The term encryption means different things to different

people that you should be aware of

WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY DATA? Google constantly tracks your location

data and stores every single data point gathered from your Android phone

They now expose this collected data on their location history feature in Google Maps

Google knows where you are, who else is there and if you both know each other by analyzing phone contacts and calendar entries

WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY DATA?

Uber analyzed rides in major US cities based on behaviour:- Rides on a Friday or Saturday evening from

a bar district to a residential district- Back to the city centre after a few hours by

the same person

They called those „Rides of Glory“ Basically Uber now knows who of their

customers are having one night stands just by data analysis

WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY DATA?

We have to cease control of our content in social networks

Data is leaving the jurisdiction of the originating country into countries with less strict data protection laws

WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY DATA? Our data is constantly and automatically

monitored and analyzed Profiles based on that data are generated in

order to show more effective ads and to sell more products to us

WHO IS INTERESTED IN MY DATA?

Almost every corporation or government entity is collecting data about citizens or customers in some form

These data hubs become more and more interesting to cyber criminals: Data is the oil of the 21st century

Every data point is relevant because it allows to deduce statistical relevant assumptions

Seemingly everybody

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT? Being aware about who is accessing personal data

- App permissions hint at usage

Being aware about who is accessing meta data- Checking privacy settings and conditions is a must

Not believing transport encryption is enough
