When you’re on the internet, how concerned are you about your privacy?
Asked around town
Jered Lovell
Waiter
I’m extremely concerned about it because the internet is a deep, vast space where it’s almost impossible to feel completely safe. It takes just a click or two for a hacker to find out all sorts of your personal information.
Carolyn Jocson
Customer success
I’m not concerned at all. Most websites allow you to opt out of their tracking systems, and if you really want to be invisible and protect your private information, there’s almost always a way to do it. You just have to know how.
Jake LeBeau
Software architect
I’m concerned about it. So whenever I get the opportunity to turn off tracking cookies, I will always take it. Every single time.
Suman Kahlon
Real estate broker
I’m concerned, especially when I feel like I’m being followed after I search for something and am then suddenly flooded with advertisement for that product. I’ve discovered that the search engine DuckDuckGo is the way to go. It has really changed my internet experience.
Alex Weber
Graphic designer
I’m moderately concerned because the internet keeps becoming a riskier environment. There is increasingly less protection out there that used to be built into the infrastructure.
