Blog: Privacy

 Privacy and confidentiality are concepts which are day by day becoming more and more important to creators and consumers of new media. Applications such as Tik Tok have become such influential companies in their simplistic app which has gained so much popularity they have simultaneously become infamous for their security and data privacy concerns.
