About this episode

The episode discusses how to identify whether an app is genuinely secure or just using misleading marketing tactics.

Most apps claiming to be "private and secure" are using language that sounds meaningful but commits to almost nothing. I broke this down after watching a Shark Tank segment on Qeepsake, a baby journal app that calls itself "absolutely private and secure" because it has an SSL certificate. That's the same protection every website has. This is an industry-wide playbook.
