About Yolanda Sam

How often have you felt helpless when it comes to the privacy, security, and control over your data? Whether you’re checking into a hotel, signing up for a new app, going to a doctor and filling out patient forms, or joining a crypto exchange, you’re always finding yourself in a situation where you’re handing over licence numbers, passport details, your home address, the list goes on. You feel like you have no agency over what you can share and what you can keep private in any given situation. Every time you share information, you increase your risk of being exposed in a data leak and falling mercy to data theft. Your information can be resold without your consent and used to target you in ways you haven't agreed to, weren’t aware of, or feel like you didn’t have a choice about. Things didn’t used to be like this. Not so long ago, we did have more control over where our information was stored and shared. But with the rise of the internet and cloud services, we’ve embraced the technology without understanding the full impact. Part of you loves the convenience of the way everything’s now digitised and at your fingertips, but in the back of your mind, you know you’re going to have to do better when it comes to security and control over your information.
