That includes the sites you visit, credit card information entered or saved on different sites, location data, usernames and passwords. Each phone has a unique identification number, or MAC address, which the drone uses to tie the traffic to the device. -Erika Fink 

"A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest
town he planned to visit on his  vacation. 
He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog
with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. 
Would you be willing to permit me  to keep him in my
room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:

SIR: "I've been operating this hotel for many years.
In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels,
bedclothes, silverware or steal pictures off the walls  
or use them as a coloring book.

I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night
for being drunk and disorderly.  
And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. 
Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. 
And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to
stay here, too."

Troubleshooting

Euclid taps smartphone WiFi to track you.

When you walk into a brick and mortar retail store like a Nordstrom, Cabela, or even Family Dollar, you're being tracked around the store. Not by an over-suspicious security guard, but by the store's wireless network, using your phone's Wi-Fi. The store then uses your phone to track you around the store, determine if you're a repeat visitor, see what departments you visit, and more. -Alan Henry

VPN = Private Internet Access (PIA)

Top 7 Reasons That I Prefer PIA

Simple to use interface. Not a computer/smartphone resource hog while it runs in the background. Does not store log files of your internet activity, ever. Inexpensive yearly cost. Can be used on 5 of your devices simultaneously (eg: PCs, laptops, smartphones & tablets). Encrypted WiFi. Unlimited bandwidth (over 5 devices). Of course there are many other features that are useful but you can read through those on Private Internet Access' website.

Unsecured Public WiFi Connections

Whether you travel a lot or just prefer using public WiFi, you should definitely consider using Private Internet Access to secure your connection. Who should consider adding strong public WiFi security encryption layers to protect your privacy and data? That's an excellent question and the short answer is, "YOU". Do you perform any of the following activities while using an unsecured public WiFi access point (eg: cafe, library, bookstore, airport or hotel)? Check email. Login to social network websites (eg: Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or Pinterest). Share sensitive data. Login to banking or credit card accounts. Login to apps on your smartphone to watch programs/movies via; Netflix, Hulu+, M-Go, VuDu, Crackle, etc. If you answered, "Yes" to one or more of above then you should sign-up without further delay to enjoy all the same benefits that I do.

Low Cost Peace Of Mind For 5 Devices

I recommend paying for the $39.95 yearly subscription because then you'll receive the lowest price possible. Now, if you take the $3.33/month cost a step further and divide that by 5 devices, it's a mere $0.67/device each month. If you're not 100% convinced, then sign-up for a month initially ($6.95).  You can always pay the yearly subscription after your 30 day test drive.

Some users have posted their phone numbers, leaving them vulnerable to SMS scams.

Always keep privacy settings to 'friends only' if you don't want to broadcast what you post to the world.

Wasil Dhingra doesn't set his Facebook settings to 'private' or 'friends only.' So, it's not hard to find his phone number.

As we mentioned, the way this data collection works is that it compares your online data with offline shopping habits. So, the easiest solution to keep it from happening? Don't use the same phone number or email address on your Facebook account as you do when you sign up for loyalty or discount cards. -Thorin Klosowski
