About this episode

Andy Murphy discusses how personal data is collected and sold, and offers practical steps for protecting privacy.

How Your Data Is Collected, Sold, and Used—and What You Can Do About It In this episode of The Secure Family Podcast, Andy explains how a vast personal data economy collects, combines, and sells information about people - fueling targeted marketing and enabling scams, stalking, and harassment. He cites examples and reporting on government agencies purchasing access to location data and the expansion of vehicle-tracking databases, and recounts cases where people-search sites were used to target victims. He also warns that old real-estate listing photos can expose home layouts and explains how to remove listing photos from major platforms. Take control of your data with DeleteMe.
