It’s unclear what you’re concerned about revealing and to whom. Without a threat model it’s hard to say.
For example, are you worried about location information? Who do you want to avoid knowing if? What granularity is acceptable?
Your smart phone reveals a masssssive amount of information, from checking access points and nfc devices to cookies on the web to exif, to cell towers. If you really want total privacy you shouldn’t carry one at all.
- trompetenaccoun 5y agoSorry, you're right. I'm concerned about big tech firms collecting my personal data, which we know they do. I'm worried this will then be used to to create a profile containing all sorts of private information, which could get leaked, sold on to other companies or be shared with state agencies when they demand it. There isn't a specific threat and I don't have reason to believe I'm targeted specifically. Although I do have family in an extremely autocratic country and discuss its politics, which might be a concern as well. My thinking is that I want to generally do as much as I can to reduce the amount of data I reveal without compromising too much on convenience. I understand that I'm still leaking a lot of data, but maybe there are some simple things I can do to reduce it at least a bit?
