But when a company is deceptive about collecting our personal information, it can erode the shaky trust we have with our social platforms. Now, a new app was discovered to be siphoning data from Facebook and Twitter accounts. Here's what you need to watch out for.

Choosing my first home security system

Q: I’ve been thinking about installing a home security system for years. With all the tech sales going on right now, now seems like the best time but I’m still not sure which to choose. Which company should I go with?

A: When you’re looking for a security system, you need one you can trust to protect you — no matter what. I’ve researched all the options, and I trust SimpliSafe to keep me and my family safe. SimpliSafe monitors 24/7 and it won't fail if the power goes down, the Wi-Fi is out or intruders smash your keypad. And they’re offering a great deal right now: 25% off any SimpliSafe system, plus a free HD camera.

Don’t just take my word for it — try it yourself. Go to SimpliSafeKim.com to get free shipping, free returns and a 60-day, money-back guarantee.


Company software needs a big upgrade

Q: I’m taking on a new position at work and I really want to get rid of our outdated software. What’s the best way to find replacements with all the features we need?

A: There’s a simple way to find exactly what you’re looking for: Capterra. Go to Capterra.com/tech to see software solutions for more than 700 categories, for free. Whatever your business needs, Capterra's got it. You can filter by rating and see thousands of reviews. But make sure you search the entire list — don’t just stick to what’s at the very top.

Visit Capterra.com/tech for free today to find the tools you need.


What should I do before I get rid of my old computer?

Q: I found a great Black Friday deal on your site and I’m gifting myself a new computer. What do I do with my old one? I’d love to give it away, but I don’t want to pass along all my data.

A: Your computer contains so much private information, so you really need to wipe it completely before you pass the machine along to its next user. First, though, you need to back up all your data. The easiest, quickest way to make sure you get every document, photo and video is with my sponsor, IDrive. For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space. That should be all you need and more.

You really can’t beat that price. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout.
