In today’s digital world, our personal information is collected, shared, and used in ways that can feel overwhelming, especially when it exposes us to scams and fraud. Join Melissa Rosser from the California Privacy Protection Agency (CalPrivacy) for a clear, friendly, and practical presentation designed especially for older Californians who want to stay safer online and on their devices.

 

This session breaks down how everyday actions, such as using a smartphone, browsing the internet, interacting with websites, or downloading apps, can unintentionally reveal personal details. Participants will learn how businesses collect and use this information, what rights Californians have under state privacy laws, and the simple steps anyone can take to limit tracking, protect their identity, and reduce unwanted sharing.

Whether you're comfortable with technology or just getting started, you’ll leave with easy, actionable tips to strengthen your privacy and lower your risk of fraud.

By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

● Understand how personal information is collected, shared, and misused

● Identify California privacy rights and practical ways to exercise them

● Avoid the spread of personal information on mobile devices

● Know how to get help if privacy rights are violated
