+In this chat we will discuss privacy and if people think it matters anymore. I figure by now all my personal information is already out there (e.g. credit card, SIN, names, etc) that it doesn't matter anymore but I'm likely mistaken.
+
+Less click-baity is the topic of data retention. What should be stored? Where to store it? How to safely delete data?

+The initial topic is security in general. I'll be hosting live from BSides and hopefully there won't be an technical details. Looking forward to chatting about what I've learned at BSides and any security topics we haven't touched on during this month.
