What are the things I'm looking for?

Because I would imagine there's language as a former lawyer.

I know.

There's language that's like, blah, blah, blah, third party, blah, blah, blah.

And then it's just sort of buried in there.

What are you looking for that is a red flag as a cybersecurity expert?

Okay, you're like, you can have my alias, go for it.

Well, I'm sitting here thinking about the fact that just about everything that I use is now somehow connected to the internet.

Yeah.

Whether it is the pad that I'm sleeping on and...

cooling me down at night, whether it's the alarm clock sunrise that I'm waking up to.

I do love that though.

But what I'm wondering is for some of these things, is there an option you can look for that allows you to enjoy the benefit of some of this wearable stuff, but that limits what you're sharing back to their general data pool?

Do you see what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Instagram did that update where all of a sudden everybody's locations were live and there was a flurry of texting all day long.

If you don't know about this, please check your Instagram right now where it just suddenly opted us all in.

So is one of the things that we should do

is to take a day and go through every app that we've downloaded and all the settings and look at the privacy and the data settings on those things?

Why would it need it?
