The Electronic Frontier Foundation is supported 70 percent by individuals, both members and major donors. Other funding comes from grants and planned giving.

EFF’s mission is dedicated to the protection of citizens’ civil rights in the digital world, and the creation of balanced laws that enable access to knowledge, empower consumers and foster technology innovation.

Why is the Hepting v. AT case critical to the long-term posture of how the US government can or cannot review consumer confidential information? Because without it the government would continue reviewing our personnel information without our knowledge.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. Founded in 1990, EFF champions user privacy, free expression, and innovation through impact litigation, policy analysis, grassroots activism, and technology development.

Privacy Badger is a free and open-source browser extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Firefox for Android created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Privacy Badger requires these permissions to do its job of automatically detecting and blocking trackers on all websites you visit. We are not ironically (or unironically) spying on you. Privacy Badger will never share data about your browsing unless you choose to share it (by filing a broken site report).

Turn “Do Not Track” on or off

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click More. Settings.
3. Under “Privacy and security,” click Cookies and other site data.
4. Turn Send a “Do not track” request with your browsing traffic on or off.

Go to “Activity controls” and under “Web & App activity” you should see a blue toggle. Switch it off and this should stop Google from storing your data. As an additional measure, visit “Personal Info & Privacy” and scroll down to “Control Your Content”.

Why, yes, it probably is. When you use your default settings, everything you say may be recorded through your device’s onboard microphone. Your phone isn’t the only device that’s watching and listening to you. The FBI warns hackers can take over your smart TV if you don’t secure it.

If your device is not connected via Wifi, you don’t transfer information via Wifi. If it’s a company phone, they could monitor what you do, even for apps that never connect to the internet.

How can I tell if I’m being spied on?

• Monitoring your mail, email, phone calls, and/or text messages.
• Monitoring your use of social media (such as Facebook)
• Tracking you or your vehicle using GPS.
• Having you “bugged”
• Watching you via video surveillance (including via a “nanny cam”)

A factory reset will delete everything on your phone, including the spyware. Make sure you have a backup of your phone before you do this to prevent losing your photos, apps, and other data. You’ll need to restore your phone to a backup from before you started experiencing the spyware issues.
