The same company has also probably estimated\u2014to the exact dollar\u2014the amount you spend every year on dining out, donating to charities, and traveling domestically. Another company Experian, has probably made a series of decisions about whether you are \u201cLikely,\\” \u201cUnlikely,\u201d \\”Highly Likely,\u201d etc., to shop at a mattress store, visit a theme park, or frequent the gym.\\n\\nThis isn’t the data most people think about when considering their online privacy. Yes, names, addresses, phone numbers, and age are all important and potentially sensitive, and yes, there’s a universe of social media posts, photos, videos, and comments that are likely at the harvesting whim of major platforms to collect, package, and sell access to for targeted advertising. \\n\\nBut so much of the data that you leave behind online has nothing to do with what you willingly write, post, share, or say. Instead, it is data that is collected from online and offline interactions, like the items you add in a webpage’s shopping cart, the articles you read, the searches you make, and the objects you buy at a physical store. \\n\\nImportantly, it is also data that is very hard to get rid of. \\n\\nToday, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Peter Dolanjski, director of product at DuckDuckGo, about why the internet is so hungry for your data, how parents can help protect the privacy of their children, and whether it is pointless to try to \\”disappear\\” online. \\n\\n\\u003e \\”It’s not futile\u2026 Taking steps now, despite the fact that you already have information out there, will help you into the future.\\”\\n\\nTune in today to listen to the full conversation. \\n\\n_Show notes and credits:_ \\n \\nIntro Music: \u201cSpellbound\u201d by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) \\nLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License \\nhttp:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/ \\nOutro Music: \u201cGood God\u201d by Wowa (unminus.com)\\n\\n* * *\\n\\n**Listen up\u2014Malwarebytes doesn\u2019t just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.**\\n\\nProtect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium Security for Lock and Code listeners.”,”published”:”2025-09-23T16:32:39″,”modified”:”2025-09-23T16:32:39″,”type”:”malwarebytes”,”title”:”Can you disappear online?
