Digital Privacy Workshop Series

Here are the presentations and workshops I have planned to help improve the privacy of your digital devices.

Introduction to Privacy with Technology

In this 20 to 30 minute presentation, I explore the ways that big tech tracks and spies on you. You will find out what measures can be taken to protect your privacy on both your mobile phone/tablet and your computer/laptop.

This presentation is available for groups wanting to learn the basics and is also used as the introductory part of the following workshop.
