From the groceries we buy, to the work we do, from our likes to dislikes, health to wealth, there is collection and observation of every single piece of data. It can be intimidating for individuals.

We, the frequent users of tech, should educate ourselves more about the uses of data. Moreover we should “own our privacy and respect the privacy of others”. We can ensure our data protection by using private encrypted browsers, double-checking the privacy settings, Using more strong passwords, look-out for vulnerabilities in network-sharing and Bluetooth, back-up your data using reliable software/hardware, and securing wireless networks at home/offices. This is all about the right to be left alone without intervention.
