Nearly everything you do say or do online can be recorded and scrutinized by advertisers, data brokers, and a long list of other people and organizations — often without your knowledge or consent.

When your personal data falls into the wrong hands, you risk theft, embarrassment, and worse. But you can take steps to greatly improve your online privacy without sacrificing all your convenience.

We hope you can join us when Joe Kissell, Mac author and publisher of Take Control Books, will talk about your online privacy and how secure it.

We’ll also be giving away one copy of Joe’s Take Control of Your Online Privacy book to a member who attends.

The meeting will be held online through Zoom — members should check their e-mail for instructions on how to connect and attend. We hope you can join us. A limited number of non-member audience “seats” at our Zoom meeting are also available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you wish to attend, please e-mail pres@pmug-nj.org, and include your full name to receive an invitation with connection information.
