This document discusses privacy in the digital age and provides tips on how to protect privacy. It outlines how people can be tracked in real life through CCTV, GPS, RFID chips in items like passports and transit cards. Online, people leave traces on the websites they visit due to cookies, cloud storage, and files on shared computers. However, privacy settings, using private browsing modes, anonymity networks like TOR, and avoiding sharing personal details can help protect privacy on computers and online. The document concludes with quotes about privacy from former tech CEOs.
4. Plan
I / Tracking in real life
II / Tracking on our computers
III / How we can protect our privacy
5. Tracking in real life
Tracking your position :
CCTV
GPS, GSM, Wi-fi
Accessing your personal informations:
NFC : credit cards, phones : pay quickly
RFID : passport, identity cards, transport pass (Navigo, Optymo)

8. How we can protect our privacy
Check your privacy settings on social networks
Once you’ve put something on the web, it can’t be absolutely
deleted.
Don’t use your real name and address on Internet !
Use private mode when you’re using someone else’s computer.
You can use anonymity networks like TOR. It encrypts and
leads your internet connection through many relays so that the
final server doesn't know who you are.

Written by George Orwell in 1948 The idea of been watched all the time was purely science fiction in 1948. But what about now ? What if that world of general surveillance is actually our world ? has become our reality ?
* I’m Nathan… Talk about privacy in the digital age

* GPS : 10 satellites at any point on the surface Wireless : Radio-frequency identification Near field communication Possibility to read the informations when the passport is not entirely closed « Identity theft» Grain of rice CCTV : surveillance on the streets UK represent about 1% of the world’s population but 20% of its CCTV cameras ! GPS : (Global Positioning System) For any point of the earth’s surface, there’re about 6 GPS satellites in the sky GPS was firstly used for navigation purposes , but now it is also used to communicate our position Along with it, the GSM and Wi-fi signals are methods used by phones to find our location. With the spreading of smartphones, there are more and more location-based applications that keep records of your movements, like your mobile service provider 2 types of micro-chips : Radio-frequency identification & Near field communication Credit Card, Passport(in whole Europe and North America), Identity Cards (espectially in Germany), Phones : These technologies allow us to do things easier and quicker . But they all contain personal informations that can be intercepted by anyone with an apropriate reader and a few computer knowledge (can lead to theft of identity)
* YOU LEAVE traces on your computer web history, cookies, temporary files BUT also on the websites you’re visiting analyse every click you do (i’ll tell you more later) and even more with like / share buttons linking to social networks ad providers (Google or yahoo) => targetted advertising ads : follow your activity register as much information as possible buy e-mail lists from big websites (=> spam) even analyse your private mails like GMail (OR any personal communication like Facebook) cloud (Dropbox / Google Drive / Evernote) Do you know what cloud computing is ? (storage your data online and using online applications) Dropbox : according to their " terms of service ", they have the right to use, copy, distribute and create things from your data you don't own your data anymore (can be lost) / they don’t belong to you anymore the data you put on a professional computer can be seen by your boss (same in every place, even UTBM) Don’t put some suspiscious files on your professional accounts ;-) Be careful about what you published on the Web the file called "my documents" is not considered as a private file, so your company can watch it. Our personals informations (name, address, occupation) can be sold to advertising companies.(direct advertising)
* You probably know what an IP address is : follow you through the internet only ISP have the ability to find who is behind the IP gives an approximation of your location browser's name and version operating system screen size plug-in versions (flash, javascript…) Example of data available to every website you visits
* Check privacy settings : be sure that the picture of you being drunk are not available to the 2 billion internet users around the world You can’t delete it for sure : There could still be a back-up or a copy somewhere If someone puts on facebook a picture of you in a weird state (drunk and/or high), anyone could copy it before you can delete it (or tell your friend to do so) don't use your real name and address (that’s common sense) Use private mode : doesn’t really protect your privacy, but it still protect you from your « friends » Some companies can also delete your informations anonymity networks using relays The Onion Router
* To conclude, there is a quote of eric... They show today, nobody really cares about privacy All companies, especially big informatics companies, just want earn more money with every informations they can learn about us. "every young person one day will be entitled automatically to change his or her name on reaching adulthood in order to disown youthful hijinks stored on their friends' social media sites" - Eric Schmidt
