I just think because, you know, in today's world that we live in, everything becomes public knowledge.
1:11:37
Yes.
1:11:38
Whether it's real or whether it's not real.
1:11:40
And it seems like people have got a great deal of power over us as individuals and our right to privacy and all that.
1:11:49
We have the what are the new phones coming out Yeah.
1:11:53
16.
1:11:53
That's all AI.
1:11:55
I don't know why anybody would wanna put their life in their hand.
1:12:00
I I just I just don't I don't get
Matthew Fraser
1:12:02
it.
1:12:02
Yeah.
Vickie Paladino
1:12:03
But security is super, super important.
1:12:06
And what's individual's privacy is their privacy, and they're entitled to it.
1:12:13
Yes.
1:12:13
So I always worry about who has access, who can gain access to anybody's information.
1:12:22
You just don't really feel safe anymore in the environment that we live in.
1:12:26
We really don't.
1:12:27
And that's for the person that's doing the right thing, just as much as the person that's doing the wrong thing.
Matthew Fraser
1:12:32
Yeah.
1:12:33
So I I say it's a very valid concern, the one thing that I would mention in this space.
1:12:37
Is that inadvertently, when you apply for services or you download applications, people should pay very close attention to you.
1:12:45
Is it the disclaimers that they sign off on?
1:12:47
Right.
1:12:48
Because in those claimers is the details around how people can use your information for other things.
Vickie Paladino
1:12:53
Is always in the details.
1:12:55
I do a lot of shopping online, and they pop up this thing.
1:12:57
It says something about cookies.
1:12:59
What the hell is it cookies?
