Dear Taco Vendor, How Are You Securing My Data?
One of the cool things about SXSW is that you can spend all week in Austin without spending a dime. Everywhere you look, someone or something is handing out free breakfast tacos, beer, t-shirts, even piggyback rides. Just login with your Facebook credentials, tweet, register your phone, share your email, Instagram a photo, or send a text. It's easy and it’s free, right? Not so fast. When you get something for free, more often than not YOU are the product. You are trading personal information in exchange for an item that would otherwise cost money. Which begs a number of questions: Why do they need this data? Where is it going? Who will have access to it? How is it being secured? Is it encrypted? Who is truly responsible?
