Got a question about Internet privacy but never knew who to ask? Then this edition of the ONLINE Privacy Salon is for you. Our knowledgeable panel will be on hand to answer your queries.

We’ll do an update about the Coronavirus situation and then move on to your questions.

No prior technical expertise or knowledge is assumed, so ask away about anything – there are no “stupid” questions (hopefully we are not too stupid to answer them, though 😉 ).

You can send questions in advance via twitter, email to info @  privacysalon dot lu or just ask them at the event. You may remain anonymous in all cases (anon twitter account or email address, random name at the event)

Luxembourg Digital Privacy Salon is free, intended for everyone, no prior technical expertise is assumed.

Digital Privacy Salons are skill & knowledge sharing sessions which aim to teach people the basic ways of protecting themselves and their data from intrusive surveillance and unwanted/unwitting information gathering.

Generally the salons deal with how to have private conversations over instant messaging, emails, how to browse anonymously amongst other things.

It is very important that you leave the Privacy Salon with tools & knowledge you can use on a daily basis, and explain to your friends how to do it too. All the attendees should come with device(s) they want to install tools on.
