Secrets in Your Data Outreach Toolkit
The Secrets in Your Data Outreach Toolkit is designed to help schools, nonprofits, community groups, government organizations, and student groups plan and facilitate Secrets in Your Data events and community discussions to inform and empower citizens to "close the windows and doors" of their digital lives.
Use this toolkit to organize community screenings that educate the public about how their personal data can be used online, and provide a space to discuss impacts to your community, and steps to take back control of their data.
We share personal data all the time, and companies and data brokers have made a big business out of tracking and selling information. However, big data can also be used to glean vital information that can be used for the benefit of everyone. The Secrets in Your Data Outreach Toolkit is designed to help schools, nonprofits, community groups, government organizations, and student groups plan and facilitate Secrets in Your Data events and community discussions to inform and empower citizens to "close the windows and doors" of their digital lives.

About Secrets in Your Data:
Whether you’re on social media or surfing the web, you’re probably sharing more personal data than you realize. That can pose a risk to your privacy – even your safety. But at the same time, big datasets could lead to huge advances in fields like medicine. Host Alok Patel leads a quest to understand what happens to all the data we’re shedding and explores the latest efforts to maximize benefits – without compromising personal privacy.
Secrets in Your Data premieres Wednesday May 15, 2024 at 9pm ET/8C on PBS. Watch on the NOVA website or on NOVA's YouTube channel.
