Chapter 2: How can smart glasses access your personal information?
Someone in line at the coffee shop glances at you. Normal, right? Not anymore. They could be wearing Ray-Ban smart glasses with a hidden camera. And within 90 seconds, their phone shows your name, where you work, and your last three Instagram posts. Yikes. Here's what's happening. Meta's Ray-Ban glasses look like regular sunglasses, but pack a 12-megapixel camera and five microphones.
Over 7 million pairs sold last year. Now Meta's rolling out facial recognition that matches your face against 3 billion profiles across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. 3 billion! So here's what to watch for. A small white LED on the right frame means that you are being recorded. You have every right to ask someone if they are recording you. And if they get weird about it, you have your answer.

Chapter 4: How does facial recognition technology work with social media?
WebRoot.com slash Kim. Go now while you're thinking about it. WebRoot.com slash Kim. Let's see, Debbie in Raleigh, North Carolina. You're up next. Hi there, Debbie. Hi, Kim. Can you hear me well? I can. Loud and clear. What's going on?
I called because I wanted to know, and I'm... heard a little bit today, I have to get my personal information off of the internet. I was a victim of abuse and I'm a widow. I live alone and I moved and now all of my information, I see it on the internet and I want to know how I can get that removed to help me.
Chapter 5: What should you do if you suspect someone is recording you?
I'm a little nervous about You know, how do they get all this information? Just because you get a new phone or you apply for an electric company service, how can I stop this?
Well, you know, it's been said that the average American has 28,000 data points about them available to be purchased. Now, when I first heard that number, and I heard that from the president of the Internet Advertising Association, one of those big league things, I said 28,000. Think about that. Wow. Your shoe size, what you bought.
But if I told you, hey, Kim, tell me about yourself. Give me a thousand things. You would never be able to do that.
And they're up to 28,000? Because they know everything that you've purchased, say, using that store loyalty card. and they know your driving patterns, where you go, how often you go. They know everywhere your phone goes, okay, because they're location services.
Chapter 6: How much personal data is available about the average American?
They know what medications that you take. They know everything about you. But here's the kicker, and I'll never forget what he said next to me. It's 28,000, but every time you use your phone, it becomes infinite. Because every time you pick up your phone, you use an app, you buy something, you move around, whatever it may be, is that you're adding even more data points.
So those data points just keep growing and growing and growing and growing and growing. You use your driver's license. You go get a driver's license. The DMV is selling those records to data brokers. So you have your address, your home address on your driver's license. And then now you're like, well, how did that get out there? Because I didn't want that out there.
But now it's out there because somebody else sold it. These are big companies. They are billion-dollar corporations.
Chapter 7: What steps can you take to protect your personal information online?
And so LexisNexis is one of the big ones. They have something called the consumer risk. I don't think we've ever talked about that. It's called the consumer risk score. And you go to, I think it's consumerrisk.lexisnexus.com. We have the address at commando.com. And you fill out a form. And a lot of people are Freaky Friday, because they're like, oh, I got to give them my driver's license number.
They already have it. Okay. You know, because it's like, or they want my middle name. They have that. So you fill that out. And then you can get a report about yourself through the U.S. Mail.
Chapter 8: How does Incogni help with data removal from databases?
And I got my report and it was 33 pages. Wow. And what did you find out? The most jaw-dropping fact you saw? I got a parking ticket 10 years ago. And they knew that. Yeah, I mean, because that was something like, I'm like, I don't even remember that parking ticket.
But what did they do? That may be one of the 28,000 points of information, but what did they do that you had a parking ticket 10 years ago?
Well, that maybe if I had a parking ticket in conjunction with that I brake hard and I speed and I whatever it may be because of the tracker that's in my car that's associated with the app that's in my car. from the manufacturer, because they're selling the data too, is that maybe I'll get an increase in my car insurance.
Okay. But you would get the increase in your car insurance because you speed everywhere. I do not.
But I understand what you're saying. I do not. I get it. Just, you know, me and Mike, the cop, we're on a first-name basis.
You shouldn't know the first name of police officers.
I wave to him now. Hey, Mike, how are you? Nice to see you. We have cactus cams. Speaking of cubs, we have cactus cams here in Phoenix, Arizona. They look like cactus. Have you ever seen those, Debbie?
I have seen a – which I didn't know about, but they have some kind of a machine when you go on a ramp to get on, like, a little beltway or something, and it tells you – it tracks your car to see if you have the – of inspection properly done.
Yeah, or the registration too. Yeah, the tags, to make sure that the tags are right. Yeah, so anyway, so the bottom line is that, so there's all this information out there. So in order to get yourself out, you can go to all these different individual sites. And you can do this yourself and you can try to opt out.
