Data privacy has been one of 2019’s biggest issues. People say they’re concerned about their online information, but what data are they comfortable sharing and what do they expect in return? Canvas8 spoke to eight Britons to find out what they’re willing to share about themselves online and to whom.

Amid worries about data privacy, screen time, and inappropriate content, parents are seeking solutions to keep their children safe online. To meet this demand, a UK-based start-up has developed a child-friendly smart-speaker that provides enriching entertainment and doesn’t listen in.
