The reason we started Privacy Files is to make the topic of privacy and personal data protection more approachable for a wider, global audience. Many people acknowledge that privacy is important, but they just don’t know where to begin.

At Privacy Files, we believe this begins with understanding your privacy risk exposure. In other words, it’s about education.

On November 4, 2023, Privacy Files hit the road and recorded this episode at the Anonyome Labs booth on the floor of the 2023 Utah Pinners Conference & Expo in the Greater Salt Lake City Area.

Pinners is a two-day event where 35,000+ creative enthusiasts, DIY aficionados and expert makers meet. If you like Pinterest, Pinners is the place to be.

Why were we there? As part of our core mission to make privacy approachable for everyone, we wanted to meet with hardworking Americans from all walks of life and get their views on personal data protection.

Pinners is a major shopping event. Tens of thousands of transactions are taking place daily. In other words, 35,000+ shoppers are sharing their personal data with total strangers.

We sat down with a few Pinners attendees to talk about the event and solicit their perspectives on a variety of privacy topics. We were also joined by a few Anonyome Labs employees to see where they are in their privacy journeys.

You will find these interviews in this episode of Privacy Files.
