After a long day of work, a work out and some dinner, you crawl into bed to relax before the long day ahead of you. Before you fall asleep you...\n\n...[[log into Netflix]]. You can definitely squeeze in one or two episodes of House of Cards before bed.\n\n...[[sign into HBO GO]]. Now's a good time to find out what all the hype over True Detective is about.\n\n...[[read 50 Shades of Grey on your Kindle]]. Nothing like some like reading with the lights off.

You may hope the potentially incriminating picture of you with a red Solo cup in your hand will never resurface once you untag it, but Facebook warns you that even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, it may remain viewable. By saving a photo’s metadata, Facebook also knows where you were when you took that picture and when. \n\nSo before you post an embarassing picture of your friend to retaliate, know that the time you posted the picture and where you were when you posted it will show up in your friends' Facebook newsfeeds–your intentions will become transparent.\n\nIt's probably better to stay off Facebook the rest of [[the day]].

You used your Starbucks Rewards card so next time you can get your free latte. But that’ll cost you your financial information, your purchasing habits, your location, your birthday and your phone number. \n\nYou grab your coffee and head into the office. What's the first thing you do when you get to your desk?\n\n[[Get back on Facebook and repost an Upworthy video]].\n\n[[Sign into Outlook to check your work email]].\n\n[[Sign into Spotify]]. You won't be able to get through the day without your tunes.

So you love House of Cards and rewatching episodes of Arrested Development. You can't get through a horror movie without turning it off halfway through, and you're secretly obsessed with romantic commedies.\n\nNetflix knows. And it knows your name, email address, your credit card information and attempts to determine your geographic location to provide “localized content.” This is how they give such spot-on recommendations.\n\nThey also know which episode of House of Cards you last watched. You click play. After watching Frank Underwood take down yet another politician, you head to sleep–perhaps fearful of politians, or maybe perturbed by [[all the information you've shared with the world in a day]].\n\n\n

You probably log into Spotify using your Facebook, which means it knows a lot more about you than your music preferences. And it knows everything about your music preferences– it records all of your interactions with the app. \n\nLogging in with the integrated Facebook system means that Spotify knows everything about you that you’ve posted in your profile.\n\nOkay, time to [[get to work]].

In a hyper-connected world where people click through each others' photos on Facebook, follow each other's thoughts on Twitter and track each other's careers on LinkedIn, personal information is everywhere. It was hardly surprising when Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg said that privacy is no longer the social norm. Thanks to Zuckerberg, people voluntarily post their photos, relationship status, political views and sexual orientation on an easily accessible website. What may surprise you, though, is what else you reveal about yourself each day–and who's collecting your personal information. Did you think about the privacy implications of buying coffee with your Starbucks Rewards card, sharing your highest score on Angry Birds or logging into Netflix? How much do you reveal in a day? [[Play The Privacy Game]] to find out!

GrubHub knows some of the most intimate details about you– your comfort food and the ridiculous hours you order it. You've revealed all of this by ordering food through them. But more than that, GrubHub has your name, number, address (maybe more than one), credit card info and electronic signature. If you let it locate you, it can also access your GPS and know your location in real time. \n\nGrubHub even knows if you tip your delivery driver generously. \n\nYou try not to think about this and continue to [[work]].

When you swipe your membership card, Gold’s Gym records when you go to the gym and how often. To get a membership, they take your name, number, address and payment information.\n\nBecause they don’t have you swipe on the way out, Gold’s doesn’t know if you’re a committed athlete or that guy who swipes in to use the bathroom then leaves.\n\n\nSo you've divulged a lot, but you've also had a great work out. You head home to [[enjoy the evening]] before you turn in early.

You pay with cash so you can have some extra change. Nobody needs to know your business.\n\nYou grab your coffee and head into the office.

You won't be able to get through the day without your tunes.

When you subscribed to the New York Times, you gave them your name, email address, phone number, address and credit card information. \n\nIf you’ve just downloaded their app, they know where you are. However, NYTimes only locates which state you are in for demographic purposes. \n\nLike most other sites and apps, they record what you do on their site and put cookies on your computer.\n\nYou obviously can't start the day without your morning cup of coffee. You stop at Starbucks so you can grab a coffee.\n\nHow do you pay?\n\n[[Starbucks Rewards]] card, duh!\n\nI use my [[Visa]] credit card.\n\n[[Cash only]].

Hiking is a great choice. You've succeeded in disconnecting for a while.\n\nYou head home to [[enjoy the evening]] before you turn in early.

Online shopping reveals a lot about you. You’re not even safe if you’re a broke college student and just browsing. Shopping websites put cookies on your computer in order to target ads to you. \n\nCookies allow the merchants to watch what you do on the Internet–what items you look at on their site and what else you’re looking at on the Internet, depending on the type of cookie. \n\nHave you ever come back to a website and been surprised that it still remembers what you’ve looked at? That’s the cookies at work. \n\nIf you purchase something, they get your credit card information, address and name. \n\nThinking about cookies is making you hungry. You start to think about [[lunch]].

Your coffee will show up on your credit card bill at the end of the month. That's because Visa is collecting the location, amounts and times of your purchases.\n\nDid you know Visa aggregates this data and sells it to marketers? Your data is not personally identifiable, but Visa is using it to help target ads. \n\nDon’t want Visa using your data this way? You can opt-out by calling the company. \n\nYou grab your coffee and head into the office. What's the first thing you do when you get to your desk?\n\n[[Get back on Facebook and repost an Upworthy video]].\n\n[[Sign into Outlook to check your work email]].\n\n[[Sign into Spotify]]. You won't be able to get through the day without your tunes.

If you log into Angry Birds with with your email and password, Angry Birds knows where you are because they’ve accessed your GPS and device ID. \n\nIf you use Facebook to log in, you give Angry Birds access to your profile. They know who you are down to the groups you belong to and your favorite movies. \n\nYou get a new high score just as you're pulling into the metro station. You obviously can't start the day without your morning cup of coffee so you pop into the Starbucks near the metro stop.\n\nHow do you pay for your coffee?\n\n[[Starbucks Rewards]] card, duh!\n\nI use my [[Visa]] credit card.\n\n[[Cash only]].

The Privacy Game

You finally get to work. What does work involve?\n\n[[Googling]] day care centers near the office for your boss who just got back from maternity leave and "doesn't have time for anything anymore."\n\n[[Tweeting]]! You have to promote the company's brand – and tell people all about your morning.\n\nLots of [[online shopping]] breaks.\n\n\n\n

You've brought your own lunch to work? Props on saving money and your personal information!\n\nAlso eating that apple will wake you up while you're doing [[work]].

Heck yeah, you’re against Japanese dolphin hunting! And you’re going to let all your Facebook friends know by sharing that Upworthy video.\n\nIn the process, Upworthy stores your name, email address and the information you’ve shared on your Facebook profile. This includes your friends, your groups and your relationship status.\n\nOkay, time to [[get to work]].

Google collects data on all the ways you use their services. This includes Gmail. In June 2013, Google told a U.S. District Court that its users had no reasonable expectation of privacy in their Gmail correspondence. In other words, Google knows what you’re saying, who you’re emailing and when you’re emailing them. The servers scan your correspondence to better target ads. \n\nIf you’re on your phone, Google knows where you are. The company collects your location and nearby wifi locations if you’ve got your location services on. \n\nThe service also checks out what kind of phone you’re on, what carrier you use and what version of software you have. \n\nGoogle will share this information with, say, the NSA if subpoenaed. \n\n\nYou throw your laptop and phone in your bag and get ready to [[go to work]].

HBO GO doesn’t attempt to locate you in real time. However, it does have your name, email, phone number, address, date of birth and credit card information. It also knows the shows you watch and the pages you visit on the site. \n\nYou watch the first episode of True Detective. After finishing the episode, you head to sleep, dreaming of Matthew McConaughey or, perhaps, thinking of [[all the information you've shared with the world in a day]].

Thanks to fare cards, the metros know when you get on and when you get off. They also know how long you're in their systems.\n\nOnce you're on the Metro, how do you pass the time?\n\nPlay [[Angry Birds]].\n\nRead your [[NYTimes]] app.\n\nCatch some extra Zs.\n\n

Twitter, like Facebook, records everything you do on their site. If you use your phone, they know where you are. Twitter logs your browser type, operating system, pages visited and anything you do on a page with a Twitter button. \n\nThat includes the artsy picture you'll post of your [[lunch]] later. #nofilter

Great work! You’ve finished your run. Your phone can tell you how far you’ve gone, how many hills you’ve climbed and how many calories you’ve burned. \n\nMapMyRun keeps this information. It also has your name, email address and date of birth. It knows your phone number, what phone you have and if you use Verizon or not. \n\nMapMyRun also allows you to share your workout on Facebook- which allows them to access all your profile information.\n\nSo you've divulged a lot, but you've also had a great work out. You head home to [[enjoy the evening]] before you turn in early.

You hit heavy traffic so you turn on your Google Maps to try to find an alternate route. Now Google knows where you are and where you are trying to go.\n\nAlternatively, if you searched for walking directions or the best way to get somewhere on public transit, Google would know you don’t have a car. \n\nYou obviously can't start the day without your morning cup of coffee. You plug Starbucks into your Google Maps and head to the nearest one.\n\nHow do you pay for your coffee?\n\n[[Starbucks Rewards]] card, duh!\n\nI use my [[Visa]] credit card.\n\n[[Cash only]].

By the end of the day, you've shared a lot of data. At least four companies now know your name, phone number, email address, credit card information and where you’ve been. Google knows what you’ve searched or written in emails to friends and colleagues. Depending on the apps you’ve used, companies will have data on whether or not you’ve worked out, when and where you bought your morning coffee, what you’ve eaten and what your favorite shows are. If you have a Facebook, a host of companies will even know what you look like. \n\n

Lunch time! You...\n\nOrder some food for delivery on [[GrubHub]]. There's no time to leave the office.\n\nHead to the [[food trucks]] down the block and hope they have the Vietnamese burrito you had last week.\n\nHead to the break room and grab the [[bagged lunch]] you packed this morning.

Facebook gathers a wide net of information about you. Not only do they have your basic information, embarrassing photos and moody statuses, Facebook knows when and where you took those photos. The company knows what computer you’re on or where you are if you’re on your phone (with location services enabled). \n\nIf you've ever clicked on the share on Facebook button on another site or been on a site with the share on Facebook button, Facebook knows you’ve been there and when. \n\nIf you’ve clicked on an ad on Facebook, the advertiser will share with Facebook what you’ve done on their site. It knows you want those overpriced boots from Zappos. \n\n\n\nYou throw your laptop and phone in your bag and get ready to [[go to work]].

Microsoft respects your email privacy. It creates a profile of your internet activity– much like Google – and shares your information across the Microsoft platforms. Unlike Google, it does not scan your emails to target advertising. In fact, Microsoft promises: \n\n“Outlook is private—you’re in control of your data, and your personal conversations aren’t used for ads.”\n\nOkay, time to [[get to work]].

Texting may be an easy, efficient way to stay in contact with your friends, but it’s also an easy, efficient way for your phone company to know who you communicate with, when and where. \n\nIf you use Verizon and have a smartphone, Verizon will collect text messages, call records, websites you visit on their network and location data. When you pay your bill, they have your financial information as well. \n\nLike Google, Verizon will share this information if subpoenaed.\n\nSo while your boss may not, Verizon will know how often you're texting throughout [[the day]].

You’re late to work, but Uber’s got your back...and your personal data. \n\nUber uses your GPS coordinates to send your driver to you- and can continue to access your GPS when you are not actively using the app to send you promotional material. Uber knows what browser you’re using to access their site as well. \n\nYou obviously can't start the day without your morning cup of coffee so you have your Uber stop at Starbucks.\n\nHow do you pay for your coffee?\n\n[[Starbucks Rewards]] card, duh!\n\nI use my [[Visa]] credit card.\n\n[[Cash only]].

Google knows everything about what you search. Period. So you might start noticing ads for day care centers, diapers and baby bottles crop up on the websites you vsit. Great, you do your boss a favor and now Google thinks you have a baby.\n\nYou can vent to your coworker about this over [[lunch]].

Time to head to the office! How are you going to get there?\n\n[[Drive]].\n[[Take the Metro]].\nYou woke up too late to find parking or Metro. [[Uber]] it is!\n

It's 2 p.m. You've taken a break from work to ...\n\n...find out from a Buzzfeed quiz the House of Cards character you most resemble is Frank Underwood. You [[post your quiz results]] on Faceboook so everyone can see what a political mastermind you are.\n\n...[[untag yourself from the embarrassing picture your friend posted on Facebook]].\n\n...[[text your best friend]] to ask where they want to have dinner later.\n\n

You wake up early Monday morning. What is the first thing you do?\n\n[[Check your Gmail]].\n\n[[Check your Facebook]].\n\n[[Brush your teeth]]. You'll deal with electronics later.

Score! They have the Vietnamese burrito you were hoping for, though it's way greasier than you remember. You whip out your credit card to pay for your "Namrito" and hand it to the cashier.\n\nThe guy at the window swipes your card through little white gadget plugged into his iPhone. The small box is called Square. \n\nIf you’re simply purchasing food, Square knows less about you than GrubHub does. But it does knows your credit card information, name, billing address and where and when you purchased that greasy Namrito. \n\nIf you are a food truck operator Square knows your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, birth date, all your financial information including your bank account, demographic data and all the foods you sell. And it has a picture of you. \n\nOne more thing: Square stores its reams of personal data through unspecified third parties. \n\nNervous yet? Take comfort in your Namrito (what even is that?) and head back to [[work]].

Work is out; time to work out! You...\n\n...go for a run, making sure to track your mileage and burned calories on [[MapMyRun]], or another favorite exercise app.\n\n...[[put your gym membership to use]] and head to Gold's Gym to beef up.\n\n...leave your electronics at home and [[go for a hike in the woods]]. It's time to get off the grid.

Your teeth are now squeaky clean, and you still haven't revealed anything about yourself.\n\nYou get ready for the day, and [[go to work]].

When you post your Buzzfeed quiz results on Facebook, Buzzfeed joins the list of third parties–or other companies– that has access the personal information you’ve publicly shared on Facebook. This includes access to your name, picture and email address.\n\nBuzzfeed has also placed cookies on your computer. \n\nYou'll probably take at least one more Buzzfeed quiz before the end of [[the day]].

Your Kindle may read like a book, but it certainly knows more about you than a book. Amazon, through the Kindle, has a unique identifier for your device. It locates you and has all your account information, including name, email and credit card information. \n\nYou can turn location services off, but if you use a wifi network to access the Kindle store, they’ve got you. \n\nKindle knows you're reading 50 Shades of Grey, and it's judging you. (Just kidding, Amazon's servers can't pass judgments).\n\nYou finish a very racy chapter of your book and head to sleep–perhaps imagining that crazy romance scene, or maybe thinking about [[all the information you've shared with the world in a day]].\n\n\n
