Q: Does Privacy really exist?

Who’s been watching you today, tracking where you went and what you did?

This secret data collection happens everywhere. When you browse in a shop or walk down a street, often someone is capturing the data you’re making. It’s not about you, it’s about the behaviour of thousands. This data is used to sell products and improve efficiency.
