Parents and Carers: Tips for Keeping Your Personal Data Secure

February 14, 2023 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

 

Mom and ChildIt is very easy to agree without thinking, to companies storing or sharing your preferences and other personal information. A few searches on Google and you click ‘Allow all’ or Accept’ without missing a beat.

But if you stopped and thought for a moment, just how many companies have your personal data? And what data exactly? According to a Statista survey, only 12.5% of respondents weren’t concerned about the storing of their personal data. Yet, an overwhelmingly high number of people has not started removing their personal information from the internet, which is something the most people should do.

Examples of PII (Personal Identifiable Information) that data brokers can store about you include:

  • Name, age, gender, race
  • Past and current addresses
  • Financial and health information
  • Sexual orientation
  • National Insurance/Social Security number
  • Passwords/email addresses/phone numbers
  • Internet browsing history

What is a data broker?

Data brokers are businesses that find and collect information on individuals from a number of sources – for example, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, public and electoral records. Their aim is to process the information to ensure it is worth licensing and then sell it publicly to other organizations.

 

How can this be avoided?

Think about some of the ways you put your PII (Personal Identifiable Information) and that of your family, online:

  • Google
  • Email accounts
  • Social Media
  • Blogs
  • Online Shopping sites
  • Shopping loyalty schemes

Read on for some tips on how to keep your information as private as possible.

1.    Remove personal information from Google

Every time you type a search topic into Google or submit any personal information to buy products or services, your data is being collected and stored.

You can request that information is removed, but Google can refuse, as they evaluate requests before deciding whether to agree or not.

2.    Clean up or delete your email accounts/social media accounts

It is unlikely to expect that people will be willing to close down their social media. But paying a bit more attention to what information you are showing to the world will make a massive difference in keeping your personal information, personal.

When you think how many accounts you have created over the years, it’s not a good thought to realize that your personal information could still be stored somewhere.

3.    Use decoy personal information

Unless it’s a situation where you are legally required to use your real information, there is no reason why you can’t set up a different email address and name when signing up to use websites, storing all unwanted communication as spam.

4.    Cancel your shopping loyalty programs

Loyalty programs store your shopping history and sell it on to data brokers. So, if you can bear to forgo the savings, shutting down your accounts will make it easier to keep your personal information secure.

5.    Opt out of Data Broker sites

You can send manual data removal requests to the data brokers that hold your information, or opt out. They are likely to collect it again, so it can become a regular chore. If you don’t want to have to do this manually on a regular basis, you can find automated data removal services that do it for you.

Must Have Home Security

August 13, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Must Have Home Security

The home is somewhere that you should always feel safe. Home security technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent times, which means that it is now easy to make your home much safer. Even if you live in a safe neighborhood with little to no crime, investing in this security technology can provide peace of mind and protection in case anything were to happen. Anyone who has been a victim to theft or any other kind of crime knows just how traumatic this can be, but this technology can both deter and stop criminals in their tracks. Here are a few of the best pieces of home security technology to invest in.

 

Video Doorbell

Video doorbells are rising in popularity, and it is easy to see why. This allows you to see and even speak to the person outside of your home before opening the door so that you can refuse entry if you do not know who they are. Additionally, these video doorbells allow you to answer even if you are away from home on a device like a smartphone which can deter criminals if they thought the property was vacant.

 

Smart Lock

Keys have been the traditional way to enter a home for many years, but they are not the safest system. A smart lock can electronically control the lock on the front door, which can be locked and unlocked from a smartphone. This means that you do not have to worry about whether or not you have locked the door after you have left, you do not have to hide a spare key outside (incredibly dangerous) and you do not have to remember to pick up a key when you leave home.

 

CCTV Camera

Outdoor security cameras from places like Swann are a smart purchase because they can deter criminals from trying to gain access to the property. Image quality is much higher these days, and many have night vision capability, so criminals are aware that they could easily be identified if caught on these cameras. This also means that if they do try and break in, then you could identify, catch, and convict the criminal(s).

 

Intruder Alarms

Intruder alarms remain one of the most effective home security products to purchase. These are highly effective because anyone who enters who does not know the keycode will set off the alarm which will scare them off, alert the neighbors and any passers-by and alert the local authorities. An intruder will not stick around if there is a loud alarm going off, so this is a good last line of defense.

 

Every homeowner needs to think about home security, even if they live in a safe neighborhood. It is important that you are able to protect your home, family, and possessions with the above products being the best items to purchase – when used together they will create a highly secure environment which will give you peace of mind. The home needs to be a place where you feel safe and relaxed, and improving home security is one of the best ways to do this.

Essential Tech Upgrades to Help Keep Thieves Out of Your Garage (and Home)

April 11, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Did you know that the second most common entry point for burglars is through your garage? While you probably are great about locking all of the doors and windows at night and while you are away, you may unwittingly be tempting bad guy fate with a vulnerable garage door.

Needless to say, you do not want thieves anywhere near the interior of your garage. If you’re a car enthusiast, you may have a valuable vehicle in there, along with other items that are worth plenty of money like tools, car parts and memorabilia. And as a loving Dad, remember that your most precious property — your beautiful kids and spouse — are right behind one more garage door, the one that leads into your house.

Fortunately, upping the security of your garage door is not that difficult. You can also take these steps in stages so they don’t hammer your budget too much at one time.

Install a Home Security Camera System

If a burglar is casing your neighborhood, chances are good he will skip the home and garage that have a visible home security camera system in favor of an un-monitored property. If you have considered adding this type of security feature, now is a great time to do just that. Thanks to the proliferation of some pretty amazing technology, you can now purchase home security camera systems that feature long-range night vision that allow the cameras to literally see in the dark. The beauty of these home security cameras is impressive: the Lorex Nocturnal security cameras, for example, have the longest night vision ranges that are currently available, which means that if some creep is on your property at night, your camera system will capture him in living color, right down to the color of his baseball cap and jacket. The wired Nocturnal cameras can be installed above your garage door, front entrance or wherever you choose.

Invest in a Garage Door Monitor

Sometimes, notes Family Handyman, the security of a garage will be undermined due to the simple reason that someone forgot to close the door. Or, you may have pushed the button on the remote as you drove away, but didn’t realize that a box or toy got in the way of the safety sensor, and prevented the door from closing. To avoid this scenario, invest in a garage door sensor that sends a signal to the monitor, thus telling you if the door is opened or closed. While you can purchase a sensor that will alert you if the garage door is open, but not close the door on its own, it might be a better option to upgrade your garage door opener to something like the Chamberlain MyQ garage door opener. As CNET.com notes, this opener lets you open and close the door from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection, and it will also monitor if the door is left open. This way, if you get to work 20 miles from your home and the Chamberlain alert says “hey man, your door is wide open” you can close it remotely rather than having to drive all the way home — now that is pretty cool.

Replace Your Old Garage Door With One That Is Insulated

If you are ever tempted to leave your garage door open a crack during the hot summer months to keep your garage and the rooms adjacent to it a bit cooler, you are also giving thieves an easy way into your abode. Instead, consider upgrading your garage door to one that is well-insulated. Most garage doors have virtually no installation at all, which is why the spaces are like igloos in the winter and ovens in the summer. But if you purchase an insulated model, you can significantly reduce the amount of heat or cold that transfers from the garage to the house, as well as stop keeping the door open a few inches and tempting burglars.

Follow These Tips for a Safer Garage and Home

In addition to the aforementioned tips like installing a home security camera system, be sure to also keep the interior door between your garage and your home locked at all times, and also never keep your clicker in a car that stays out overnight on the driveway or street. All a bad guy has to do is break into your vehicle and he can help himself to the remote control, open the door and start stealing your valuable stuff that’s in the garage, and possibly the house too. Fortunately, making a garage more secure is not a Herculean task, and it’s one that you can do in steps — starting today.

Vivint Allows You To Take Control Of Your Home’s Safety

June 14, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

vivint photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

Depending on where you live having a home that provides safety for your family is critical. While some places may be safer than others, there are others where you could use so much more safety too. Vivint has taken control of safety for your home. At the touch of a button, you can control your home and your family’s safety and feel that much more in control with Vivint.

vivint

Recently I visited my local Best Buy to learn more about Vivint and I am glad that I did. I had not heard about Vivint before, but after hearing about it, I was sold on what it offers.

vivint

Vivint, provides you the ability to control all of their devices all in one application. You start with the main panel and then add onto this to add in new security features. For example, the interior or exterior camera will capture any instance of movement. The Vivint panel itself holds 14 days of video and you can even move clips from the panel to your phone if you want. You can add on sensors to windows and doors if you like, to add in alerts when they are open, again to take control of your understanding of what is happening in your own home.

vivint vivint

In speaking with the salesman, he stated that you do start with the Vivint panel and he mentioned that many will add on the Thermostat, smart switches, cameras or other devices depending on your own budget. The panel costs varies right now because of the launch of the Vivint products. I explored the items at the Best Buy that I visited and found that the panel and a few items usually would cost about $1000-$1100. You can save money ultimately though if you add on the thermostat through power companies like Consumers Energy and Detroit Edison or other power companies because these will help you save even more by better controlling heat/cooling based on when you are in the home.

vivint

Other people will start with the panel, but then will add on the doorbell which comes with a camera and adding on a outdoor or indoor camera. The door lock system that they provide is something that allows you to actually unlock the door remotely if needed by the application that you can run on your phone. Imagine, you are away from your home, someone clicks on your doorbell, from your application you can see who is at the door even from 100’s of miles away and then you could even unlock the door for the person. (I was amazed!).

vivint

Depending on what you add to your system, if you add in a thermostat you can work with the system to allow if to adjust your temperature, turn on or off lights, lock doors, etc. Vivint really gives you complete control of your home, making it safe for your entire family!

vivint

Vivint offers you an optional Sky Drive for $49.99 a month and with this they offer monitoring by police, medical and fire as well as a 30 day history of video that you can access.

Bitdefender BOX Keeps All Your Technology Safe

January 14, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

 

Bitdefender BOX is a sleek, small and mighty piece of hardware that protects all devices in the home such as PCs, Macs, Android and iOS tablets and phones alike.

In 2015, Bitdefender, a leading security software company worldwide, launched the Bitdefender BOX. The Bitdefender BOX protects every device that connects to the internet. It is the first and only such device of its kind to be announced and available in the market. It has been described by The Wall Street Journal as a “breakthrough idea” and by FOX News as “the best way to prevent future digital break-ins.”

Bitdefender BOX is a sleek, small and mighty piece of hardware that protects all devices in the home such as PCs, Macs, Android and iOS tablets and phones alike.

Although you have locks on your home, your front door isn’t the only point of entry. This is especially the case as we get more and more technologically advanced. With more technology, there are more ways for people to get into the home. This is especially the case  when you have kids in your home too. As parents it is our job to make sure that our kids understand this, but if there was technology available to help us to do this, we should be all over it too.

Bitdefender BOX is a sleek, small and mighty piece of hardware that protects all devices in the home such as PCs, Macs, Android and iOS tablets and phones alike.

With the Bitdefender BOX you get to protect your devices and get peace of mind as it will protect you from all exterior threats to your technology.

Why is this important to me? Because I know that there are so many unknown and invisible threats that are out there and as a dad I want to safeguard my family at all time, and I know that personally I can only do so much. That’s where Bitdefender BOX comes in.

Bitdefender BOX is a sleek, small and mighty piece of hardware that protects all devices in the home such as PCs, Macs, Android and iOS tablets and phones alike.

For me, in receiving the Bitdefender BOX I was excited to try it out. In receiving it, I quickly opened it, and while it is unassuming when you see it, in reading about it I could tell that this would do what was needed to safeguard my home and family’s devices.

The setup for the Bitdefender BOX was simple and and I had no problems setting it up. I did have to go into the settings of my router to change one setting but once that was done I found that I could log into the application on my phone, see who and what was logging into the network, generate dynamic, engaging content of different use-case scenarios for syndication across networks, brand social channels and platforms and more.

Bitdefender BOX is a sleek, small and mighty piece of hardware that protects all devices in the home such as PCs, Macs, Android and iOS tablets and phones alike.

It offers the convenient ability to manage the device remotely via smartphone, and it provides the added benefit of digital protection for a number of connected devices that currently do not feature their own protection.

RemoteLync Camera by Kidde = Ultimate Family Safety!

December 9, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

 

Kidde's RemoteLync Camera is cordless, Wi-Fi enabled, and powered by a rechargeable battery so it mounts nearly anywhere. It will instantly record video upon sensing motion and sends alerts via a free app or email. The video clips will be available in the app for 12 hours at no charge; during that time the user can download directly to a smart device or the cloud, and/or share via social media. Long-term clip storage in the app is available at a minimal cost. (PRNewsFoto/Kidde)

RemoteLyncTM Camera by Kidde = Ultimate Family Safety!

Over the last few weeks I have been trying out the brand new RemoteLync TM Camera from Kidde. I was very excited about trying this out as I had been using the RemoteLync TM Monitor for some time and love the ability to have the reliability of knowing that something is watching over my home even when I cannot.

With the RemoteLync TM Camera, you can take the RemoteLync system to the next level.  Its magnetic base enables the camera to be easily installed nearly anywhere – homeowners aren’t limited by proximity to an electrical outlet – and the camera will adjust to almost any angle.

Kidde's RemoteLync Camera is cordless, Wi-Fi enabled, and powered by a rechargeable battery so it mounts nearly anywhere. It will instantly record video upon sensing motion and sends alerts via a free app or email. The video clips will be available in the app for 12 hours at no charge; during that time the user can download directly to a smart device or the cloud, and/or share via social media. Long-term clip storage in the app is available at a minimal cost. (PRNewsFoto/Kidde)

The New RemoteLync Camera

I first tried mine out in my living room, and I ended up keeping this there as I loved how well it worked and the images I received. The camera was easy to use and once you have the RemoteLync app you can easily connect this camera too.

The nice thing with the RemoteLync Camera was that it immediately records video upon sensing motion, and sends you an alert via a free app on your mobile devices. When I connected this, I could set the pet motion sensitivity setting, which was very necessary as I have three cats.

Once you activate the camera and start getting images you can request video clips from five to 30 seconds on demand. The video clips will be available in the app for 12 hours at no charge; during that time users can download directly to a smart device or the cloud, and/or share via social media.

Long-term clip storage in the app is available at a minimal cost as well which was great!

The RemoteLync Camera is now available online and in stores through the Home Depot and ShopKidde.com. You can find more information on the Kidde website here: https://remotelync.kidde.com/ . New videos about the product are also available on Kidde’s YouTube channel.

In the few weeks since I have started using this I have been doing additional research on the RemoteLync camera and found some very awesome points that I wanted to share with you:

  • Installs easily, without cords — Self-contained system runs on an existing Wi-Fi network, completely wire-free, mounts magnetically to an easy-to-install base
    and requires no additional hardware. No hammers, drills, extra routers, outlets or hubs needed.
  • Event management – Provides instant notifications with free iOS and Android app or through email. Users can invite an unlimited number of trusted contacts to
    receive notifications and help monitor a location.
  • Geo-arming – Automatically arm/disarm camera when homeowners leave and return to the location using an intelligent geo-fence.
  • On demand video – Easily request video clips up to 30 seconds anytime – the camera even records at night with bright LED lights.
  • Long-lasting rechargeable battery – Lasts up to three months on a single charge with typical usage.
  • Mounts magnetically to the base – Install nearly anywhere; once mounted the camera will pivot and point in any direction.
  • Notification for smoke and carbon monoxide – One app manages both the camera and RemoteLync Monitor that listens for existing UL-listed smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Choose to record video if the monitor sends an alert that a smoke or CO alarm is sounding.
  • The RemoteLync Camera costs $189 and is available at select The Home Depot store locations and various online retailers.

My next giveaway is Below!

Canary Home Security System

Home Safety is important and especially this time of year you see studies over and over again that show that crime is up in the months leading up to the end of the year. I did a little research and even found that in a recently study by the FBI, they found that each year more than 400,000 burglaries occur in the United States during November and December!

 

While I live in an area that is fairly safe, I still have heard about robberies and such and because of that I want to make sure that I can protect my home from intruders no matter where I am.  That being said though, there are also times in which we go on vacation and have someone watching the pets, but we do this on trust. Not to say you should not trust these people, but again, having the ability to check in and have the peace of mind to know that things are the way you want them to be helps!

All of this being said, Canary home security systems offer a great home security solution with its built-in microphone, HD camera, motion detection sensors, siren and authority alert options, night vision, air safety technology and more. See for yourself: in September, Canary home security captured a burglary in progress on the Upper East Side in New York, a neighborhood that is among one of the safest in the city according to police.

I tried out the Canary home security system for myself and have to say that it was so easy to set up and use. Once connected and set up you can place it on the bookshelf or wherever you like to get the show that you want when you want it. With the security features you can set it to be as sensitive or not as you would like too. The Canary home security system was stylish and sleek and best of all you get amazing quality pictures and video from this device.

Canary retails for $199 and is available online via or the Canary website, and in Verizon retail stores, Apple, Walmart, Best Buy and Home Depot.

You turn on the news lately and all you hear about is doom and gloom and many times you hear story after story about people getting hacked, companies being infiltrated with virus attacks and it almost seems to be ?something you cannot avoid, or is it?

As a father of girls, I want to make sure that I am setting up my home environment to safeguard my whole family. and recently I have had the opportunity to try out the great new software for my computer called Freedome.

As a part of trying out this program I did more research for myself on safety and security and really looked deeply at how well this program worked. I have been using it now for about a month and have been letting it run on my own laptop all the time. One of the things that I have come to love was the ability to keep an eye on who’s around me which allows me to avoid opening myself up too much to others. At the same time I have been careful to shield my screen around others as well as what sites I save my passwords on. I can only imagine what could happen if I saved everything on my laptop and it was stolen!

As I have been traveling a lot over the last two weeks I have been using Freedome a lot and I have felt completely covered.

After trying this personally I brought it and showed it at work too. Freedome has a great tool that lets you check your business against the threat of cyber-security breach. This test was amazing and really explored so many areas of potential threat and it really opened the eyes of everyone at my company and it will do the same for you too! So is your company a target? Try out the tool, you will not regret it!
