We all have a story that goes much like this: you talk to a friend about a product, then hours or days later the adverts served to you are flooded with the very same product. 

Where these two events have coincided so often, it’s given rise to the concern that our phones are always listening to us. So are big tech companies always eavesdropping, or could the truth be even more sinister?

Join me for the series premiere of Disconnected, where I unveil all the connections and data collection that your phone facilitates with intimidating regularity. How can we control our information? Who has access to it? And when we turn our phones off at night, are they really off…?

This episode of Disconnected covers:

• When our phones are really listening to us
• How mobile towers use signal strength to triangulate your position
• Location tracking through proximity to WiFi
• The hidden mission of the Google Street View vehicle
• Addressing the inequality of exchange between us and phone manufacturers
