Playing Candy Crush, swiping left on a dating app and checking your Yahoo inbox shouldnât expose your location. I say shouldnât, but those apps and thousands more were likely hijacked by data brokers who turned your personal info into cash.

Iâm sure you remember this: âYou hang up first.â âNo, you hang up first.â Not quite as romantic when you fumble for the âEnd callâ button on your iPhone, eh? As times change and our tech changes, so, too, do the phrases we use.
