.@vayalariv advises that the most practical thing you can do to protect your privacy is to stay aware: know company policies, read the fine print, and research what software can help to guard your information #scienceontap #dataprotection #gdpr

.@vayalariv shares the belief that successful privacy isn't about living like a hermit. It's about creating a data system you can trust #scienceontap

.@vayalariv on GDPR: its a headache for companies, but important protection for the average person. It gives back rights you might not know you deserved #scienceontap

Preventing data leaks: a key factor in protecting your privacy is to ensure the information companies store is much more general. Age ranges rather than specific DOBs. Partial zipcodes rather than full ones. @vayalariv #scienceontap

The searches you make can be used to track you down: your interests, the keywords you use, and your family enquiries can all be leveraged to discover your location @vayalariv #scienceontap

87 percent of people in the USA can be identified by three easily mined forms of data: DOB, Zipcode and Gender @vayalariv #scienceontap

Protection of data doesn't just involve what you've disclosed. It also concerns the predictions that have been made about you: Are your parents divorced? Are you happy in life? Just some of the examples of your info being stored @vayalariv #scienceontap

If you're not paying, you are the product. @vayalariv echoes some concerns currently making headline news #scienceontap

Profit, legal obligations, research, collaboration and outsourcing: the four main reasons your data will be shared #scienceontap

If we save all the data generated worldwide in one day in bluray form, it would equal the height of four eiffel towers #scienceontap

.@vayalariv defines the digital economy: a world where data is as valuable as oil or gold #scienceontap
