Where is and who has my data? Today’s data privacy environment.
12/04/2023
Most believe companies and the government track and monitor their online and offline activities. Most adults think going through a day without data collected about them is impossible. Data-driven products and services are often marketed with the potential to save users time and money, but do they do that? Of course, most adults see risks as they continue to hit yes on every cookie banner. But we contradict our beliefs as we accept cookies without reading the text. And once we say yes, where are all our data stored? If our data is in the cloud, the answer is that we don’t know where it is. Most likely, it is spread across data centers worldwide because most cloud providers back up the data across multiple sites. So this means that our data probably exists simultaneously in more than one place, possibly across different countries or continents is possible? In this episode, we discuss the current situation surrounding data and privacy and the future.
