In this Safer Internet Day edition of the Privacy Salon, we’ll be giving tips, tricks and practical advice for online privacy.

Luxembourg Digital Privacy Salon is free, intended for everyone, no prior technical expertise is assumed.

Digital Privacy Salons are skill & knowledge sharing sessions which aim to teach people the basic ways of protecting themselves and their data from intrusive surveillance and unwanted/unwitting information gathering.

Whichever browser we use, it is one of the ways we interact most frequently with the internet and one of the ways we leak loads of private information.

Come to the last Salon of 2019 and we’ll help you lock down your browser so it gives away as little information about your habits, preferences and location as possible – please bring along your laptop and pre-install firefox for this edition of the Privacy Salon.

Privacy Salon will be participating in Cybersecurity Week Luxembourg by holding a special edition where we will be playing some security games for kids. Fun, practical and hands on, we’ll be exploring face paints to block facial recognition algorithms, making  phone cases which block all signals, play special board games, create safe passwords with dice, find out how encryption keys work etc.

Cybersecurity Week Luxembourg is an advocacy-campaign week, which aims to raise awareness of cybersecurity threats, promote cybersecurity among citizens, corporate and SMEs, and provide up-to-date security information through education and sharing best practices.

In this edition of the Privacy Salon we will look at attitudes towards Internet Security of the participants, based on the recently released Eurobarometer of the European Commission.
