My device, my data
From smart refrigerators to fitness trackers, from voice assistants to connected cars: every device we use generates an impressive amount of data. Often unnoticed, these data points reveal much about our habits, preferences, and lifestyles. With this blog, we aim to shed light on what data are being produced, how they are collected, and the risks and opportunities that come with them. It’s a space for awareness and dialogue, helping individuals and organizations better understand the data economy — and reclaim the true value of their information.
