Cell phone pictures pose privacy risk
Would you be willing to trade your cell phone for privacy? No? That's what I thought, but a thought-provoking video by a TV news station has people second-guessing that decision.
This video shows that any time you take a picture with your smartphone and forward it to someone else or post it on the internet (ie: facebook), it marks exactly where the photo was taken. I don't simply mean the mall or a restaurant... I mean it collects data such as which room in your house- at your exact address- the photo was taken, and what time of day! Personally, I do not want anyone knowing the layout of my house or where I take my kids for preschool. That is just TMI ("too much information").
Please watch this video and learn how to turn off that feature in your phone. Privacy is a right that no one should take away. Pass this on to your family and friends to protect themselves.
I know it is off the subject of privacy, but since we are talking about pictures... I think it's a good time to remind you, obviously being that we are a personal injury firm, that if you are involved in an accident use your cell phone to take pictures of the scene of the accident.
