This week’s topic: How Smart Devices Collect Your Data

Smart devices make life convenient, but they also collect large amounts of personal information. In this session, Natalia Parker will explain how devices like smartphones, video doorbells, and connected home appliances gather data and how that information may be shared or sold. We will also look at how these devices communicate with one another and what users should understand about the data they generate.

Presenter Bio:

Natalia Parker is the co-founder of Dexitplan, an American by choice and by heart, who traded a legal career in Russia for a life built from scratch in the United States, raising two kids and finding her purpose where technology meets real people’s lives. That purpose came into focus after years of watching families face the same painful reality: a loved one passes, and suddenly no one can access the accounts, find the assets, or answer the simplest questions. She did not just empathize with that problem; she built a solution. Everything she does at Dexitplan comes back to one belief: if you open an account, you deserve to understand what you are walking into, and if you leave one behind, your family deserves a clear path forward. She is tireless about that mission because the families on the other side of this problem deserve someone who is.
