All Your Devices Are Spying on You — And Why That Matters

Your phone listens.

Your TV watches.

Your apps track.

Your printer phones home (seriously).

We live surrounded by “smart” devices — and most of them are gathering data on you, your habits, your location, and your preferences.

Why this matters:

• Your digital profile is sold, traded, and used to target you — sometimes in subtle, manipulative ways

• Data breaches happen all the time — even from companies you trust

• The more data out there, the more it can be used against you: higher insurance rates, creepy ad targeting, even job profiling

What you can do today to take back control:

✅ Turn off ad personalization (Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.)

✅ Limit app permissions — flashlight apps don’t need your GPS

✅ Use guest networks or VPNs when possible

✅ Regularly delete your voice, search, and location history

At Working Dog Tech, we help everyday people set up their devices with privacy in mind. Book a session and I’ll walk you through it step by step.

🛠️ Because being “smart” shouldn’t mean being watched.
