Episode 156 — Data Privacy and Your Computer - The Offerings of Tech Giants

You buy a new computer. You push the power button. Your screen blazes with tips and prompts, not from the device maker but from tech giants like Microsoft and Google. You rush to get started with offerings from these giants and other iconic providers. What about your personal information and how your privacy will be affected by your launch on the new device? Or perhaps you skipped the privacy choices long ago and now wonder what happened by default and your deferral of exercising privacy options? Come along as the Data Privacy Detective activates his new desktop and laptop. Learn how tech giants confront how personal information will be collected, shared, and used - or not, depending on your choices - or your failure to make them. Consider how your decisions when you launch a new computer (or make privacy choices now with an existing one) expand or limit risks to your identity and personal privacy in the digital world.   Time stamps: 02:43 — Google privacy settings  07:30 — Lenovo privacy settings
