We all do it: ask a search engine things we wouldn鈥檛 dare ask a friend, post our lives on social media, hit the 鈥榓gree鈥� button on privacy conditions we never read. This is life in our online age. To get our favourite apps and services for free, we provide companies with the intimate details of our lives. Businesses we鈥檝e heard of, and many we haven鈥檛, make money off this data in ways we may not fully realise. And almost every week it seems there鈥檚 another data breech 鈥� Equifax, Sonic, and Deloitte have been hacked in the last month alone. Each time the private data of millions of people is compromised.
