Many of us are finally waking up to how important privacy is, and yet we don’t think twice when we swipe our credit card.
Each time we opt to pay with plastic, our data is shared by our banks, the card network, the store, the point of sale system, the retailer’s bank, our financial apps. And then all those entities share it with thousands more.
In this video we dive into financial privacy, and give you a glimpse of how much information gets shared about you through your financial choices.
We also look at why it’s risky to use traditional financial tools when making donations to causes you care about, and dive into 2 groups that are innovating in the donation world.
