Gotcha. I know a few companies are really going after simplifying personal online privacy over the next few years. Big market for those like you who care. Not quite there yet. Good luck! > On Mar 21, 2022, at 5:31 AM, TomDressler <tbrduc@gmail.com> wrote: >

<tl;dr>..can’t think of one. Sorry. Even Apple which allegedly has a strict privacy policy…still wants all of your info. Why? If you’re not going to give it to anyone, why keep hounding me for my phone, Apple pay, ID, etc…etc. I already said..”no thank you”. Can’t you remember THAT piece of data?? :-) FaceCrook..”oh, yeah. I don;t like them either, but I need to share my photos with my family” But, wait..herfe I am on G-Mail! Doh!! What am I to do? :-) An example: I belong to a Credit Union. They recently added some “feature” to tell me my credit score…all the freaking time! It’s an outside party (THAT makes it sound fun, calling it a party) that IMHO, pays the CU for some level of access to me. BUT, the CU says they are not selling my information. However, when I follow the link from the CU page, it tells me that I authorise the other party to access my data. Bingo! The CU didnt't sell my info, they merely presented me with an option for me to accept to allow them to GIVE it away!! I’m hooked into what I deem, a nefarious circle. So, no, I didn't accept that “feature”. And, it’s someone other than the normal 3, who, by the way, never even ASKED if they could gather all of our financial data, yet we are subjected to their scrutiny, with impunity. Will I die on this hill? Likely not, but I will give it my best “Zelensky”! /rant Oh…oops…sorry…to much coffee? LOL! Anyway…Happy Monday? :-) Sunny here in NoVa..my pond is clearing up..my fish and frogs are getting happy…ahh..life’s grand! Setting out on a drive to Monterey to visit my ailing mother.

Ok…insensitive reference. My ‘fight’ is not even a spec of dust on phytoplankton compared to what Zelensky is dealing with.
