Mobile Privacy
Today I would like to share with you a bit of follow up to yesterday’s article about Collusion and how we are being tracked, monitored, and recorded while surfing the web. (If you missed that, click here.)
Your online privacy should be a concern whether you are using your PC at home, or if you are using your smart phone. Fortunately, I am not the only one who think so. Today I have a very good read for smartphone owners.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
