***NOTE: The audio in the first eleven minutes might be a little challenging to listen to, but after that it improves. This was our first episode recorded outside of our Privacy Files studio. Recording remotely does introduce some additional recording challenges. In this episode, we were recording inside a convention center expo hall where we had to contend with a considerable amount of ambient noise from attendees walking the floor. We hope you understand. All in all, in this episode you will hear some insightful feedback from people about their views on privacy, safety and security. Thank you for your support.

In this special episode of Privacy Files, we took the podcast on the road to the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah to talk to attendees at the 2023 Utah Bridal & Wedding Expo.

The MySudo team took over a booth space for four hours on Saturday, May 20th and helped hundreds of people download the world's only all-in-one privacy app. We handed out lots of gourmet Crumbl cookies to booth visitors and sent them on their way with big smiles.

The goal of this podcast episode was to capture the raw feedback of a few expo attendees. What does privacy mean to them? How important is privacy to them? Does "personal privacy" or "personal safety" elicit a stronger response? Do attendees use other privacy tools like a VPN, password manager or private browser? What about the timeless battle between aesthetics and functionality?

When it was all said and done, we met some amazing people. Each had a unique story to tell. There were a few surprises along the way as well.

Most importantly, we spread the word about data privacy and did our little part to help close the privacy knowledge gap.

We hope you get something valuable out of this episode.

Please help us in this mission to give people back control over their personal data by telling your friends and family about the Privacy Files podcast. Together we can win this fight.
