  • How much and exactly what kind of data do we share on a daily basis (sometimes without knowing)?
  • Who, if anyone, is ‘listening in’?
  • How can we take better control of who we give access to our personal data?
  • What are the benefits, challenges and ethical considerations for data sharing?
  • What will the future of data protection look like?
