Threats to our privacy are everywhere, but doing something about it is confusing and difficult. Until Now.
Dear Privacy Enthusiasts,
It’s no secret that our online activities and personal information are more vulnerable than ever before. Criminals use our personal data to plunder our personal finances, employers and businesses. Big Data is harvesting our data 24/7 to build comprehensive consumer profiles on everyone one of us. Data brokers make our entire residential address history and family relationship information available online for free or a small fee (source). AI scams are becoming ever more sophisticated and dangerous to our privacy and security.
This is why we're thrilled to introduce you to Secrets of Privacy, your trusted source for insider tips and strategies to protect your personal privacy.
Why Secrets of Privacy?

Why Trust us?
Unlike other newsletters and websites offering privacy advice, we’ve worked on the inside. Our tips and tricks don’t come from news articles or second hand information. It’s not a hobby.

This newsletter will provide you with practical solutions to protect your personal information. Our insider information will empower you to make an informed decision when balancing convenience and privacy. With our guidance, you will become a harder target for Bad Actors.
