The humble Contact List in our phone is a goldmine of data. Each contact is filled with the personal information like names, numbers, email addresses, home addresses, birthdays, work details and social media information. It’s the kind of information that data brokers salivate over because it allows unprecedented insight into consumer behavior, political leanings, and even potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The worst thing is, it's not even your information that's being taken -- When we don't protect our contacts list, it's the information that OTHERS have entrusted to us that we're sharing. In this video I talk about Contact Lists, why you might not want to store them in your phone or share them with other apps on your device, and finally I’ll talk about more private ways to store them.00:00 Your Phone Compromises Your Contacts00:28 Overview00:39 Why Contacts Lists Are Important01:51 Who Sees Our Contact List05:37 Private Ways To Store Contacts06:23 Reviewing App Permissions06:57 Third Party Contact Apps07:53 Encrypted Contact Storage08:43 Graphene: The Ultimate Solution09:57 It’s Time to Take Back Control!By disabling automatic cloud syncing, regularly reviewing and managing our apps’ contact permissions, and using privacy-focused apps and services, we can reduce the indiscriminate harvesting of our social graph. Our contacts deserve to be treated with the utmost care and respect.NOTE: In our video, we mention Simple Contacts Pro, but we have since learned that it has been acquired by ZipoApps, a company known for adding ads and tracking to apps. One of the developers forked the project, and the fork, “Fossify,” is an alternative that you can consider instead.https://github.com/FossifyOrg/ContactsBrought to you by NBTV team members: Lee Rennie, Cube Boy, Kieran Mesquita, Reuben Yap, Sam Ettaro, Will Sandoval and Naomi BrockwellWatch all of the tutorials in our Phone Privacy Playlist HERE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt3zZ-N423gXV-0pdxnRn-nw0WzVKh4NYTo support NBTV, visit:https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Visit our shop!https://Shop.NBTV.mediaOur eBook "Beginner's Introduction To Privacy:https://amzn.to/3WDSfkuBeware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.

We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?That's what we cover in this video, Part 3 of our car privacy series: SIM cards, WiFi, and OBD ports. We also talk about how companies trick us into handing over our data, things that we can do to push back against this insane overreach that we’ve somehow normalized, and the giant legal loophole for cars that makes it super easy for law enforcement to collect your data without a warrant. 00:00 Your Car Saw What You Did in the Backseat!02:57 Don't plug in ANYTHING04:41 Satellite and Bluetooth05:47 WiFi06:29 SIM Cards08:22 Find out what's going on!11:10 Shady Tactics14:38 Challenging Data Overreach16:35 Car Warrant Loophole18:00 There is HopeThere currently are no easy fixes to the problem of car surveillance.

Cars are no longer dumb machines -- They're smart devices with hundreds of computers bolted on top that collect information about our activities. Some car companies have even explicitly said in their privacy policies that they collect information about your sexual activity!Given that so much information is stored in our car, what happens when we sell it? Do we just hand this sensitive information off to the next owner?

Thanks to powerful marketing, privacy is something we’ve come to immediately associate with Apple. But your iCloud is probably NOT as private as you think. Last year, Apple added E2EE for iCloud backups, with a tool called "Advanced Data Protection”. This setting means that your documents, photos, and other personal information in iCloud are kept private and out of the reach of even Apple itself. BUT, this setting is NOT turned on by default. Unless you have specifically turned on the setting, and set backup users or codes, everything in your iCloud can be read by Apple. And regardless of whether Advanced Data Protection is enabled, some things in the Apple ecosystem are never E2EE, and it's important to know what they are.In this video we explain exactly what is being protected with Advanced Data Protection, how to turn it on, its limitations, and other options that you might use for your backups instead.00:00 Your iCloud is NOT as Private as you Think01:49 Advanced Data Protection Explained02:37 Set Up04:34 Limitations05:48 Alternative Backup Options06:52 SummaryDon’t presume that your iPhone is more private than it actually is. If you use Apple's iCloud, absolutely make sure that you have Advanced Data Protection turned on.
