Is privacy becoming a luxury of the past? In this episode of Signal Shift, Raakhee sits down with Kim Wuyts, a world-leading expert in privacy engineering and the creator of the LINDDUN threat modeling framework. From smart glasses that unknowingly record intimate moments to robot vacuums capturing family photos, our most private spaces are increasingly under surveillance.

Kim explains why privacy is no longer just a "legal checkbox" but an engineering challenge that must be embedded into the very architecture of our digital world. We explore the concept of Privacy by Design, the role of AI in amplifying data risks, and how "gamification" is helping developers understand the "cringe" of privacy violations. Kim also provides essential "cyber hygiene" tips for the average consumer to help protect their digital footprint.
