You Have No Privacy


Unless you live in a cabin in the woods with no phone or electricity, and never use the Internet, you have no privacy.

Credit reporting agencies, data sweeping and mining companies, your own bank and credit union, Internet browser and email companies, health care providers (within rules)  and the federal government are all involved in sweeping and storing massive amounts of data. Even your grocery store courtesy card results in data storage and marketing analysis.


This is not directed at terrorists or criminals, this is directed at everyone.


So…..


If you want to do something quietly, do it in cash. However, using or moving large amounts of cash will get you in trouble also (a future post will be published on the perils of using your own cash).


Always assume everything you do involving money or paper ends up in data files for future use.
