You're giving away all your data for that free email account

I don’t trust Big Tech and you shouldn’t, either. You’ve heard me say for years that free email services like Gmail or Yahoo aren’t really free. There’s a big price to pay — your privacy. These free email sites scan, analyze and save details of every email you send and receive, giving Big Tech a very intimate and detailed profile of you so they can easily sell your data to the highest bidder.

That’s why I use StartMail. With StartMail, I can send encrypted emails with one click, even if the recipient doesn’t use encryption. And StartMail never scans or analyzes your emails. Best of all, when you delete an email, it’s gone — forever.

Don’t trust Big Tech with your data and privacy.

AND FINALLY ...

Amazon's taking new steps to stop hackers and rogue employees from stealing customers' data. Amazon may monitor their workers' keyboard and mouse strokes to catch any signs of foul play. 

🔎 It's yet another company making use of high-tech tools to monitor employees. Although they're doing it in their customers' best interests, we can't help but wonder if it may blossom into something more invasive for employees. 

That's because bossware is such a huge issue. If you're working from home due to the pandemic, you might be using a company-issued laptop or phone. Whenever you use these gadgets, you should expect a good amount of surveillance. 👀 Want to learn more? Listen to our podcast episode on the secret software watching your every move at work.
