Data Rights: Micro Learning

You mentioned something at dinner once, and the ad showed up the next morning. This course explains how that actually happens, what the law says about it, and the settings, requests and habits that give you some say. Five minutes at a time, in plain English, with something to try in every lesson. One household works through it with you. Nora, a retired paralegal, wants to know how a shoe ad found her. Her son Marcus finds a driving score in his car app. Dana has a work laptop and an annual training she finally reads. Eli taps Agree on everything, until a call comes that sounds exactly like him. WHAT'S INSIDE • 24 modules and 96 five-minute lessons, in eight parts • Practice screens for the real thing: a cookie banner, a phone's privacy settings, a smart TV's setup screen, a terms of service you can read in five minutes • A true story in every module, from court cases, regulators and companies: Equifax, GM, 23andMe, Samsung, Meta, the FTC and more • A Field Card at the end of every module: one page for the day it happens to you, like a breach letter arriving • A Talk Card from every lesson: one sentence worth repeating • A Dinner Table Challenge in every module WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Whether your phone is listening. What accepting cookies does. What data brokers know and how to get off their lists. What privacy settings really control. What your smart TV and car send out. Personalized prices. Your rights to see, delete and fix your data, and why they depend on your state. How Europe's privacy law reaches American websites. Faces, kids' and health data. Privacy policies, data breaches and credit freezes. What your employer can see, background checks, and posts about work. What happens to what you tell a chatbot, AI training on your posts, voice clones. And what to do about all of it. EDUCATION, NOT LEGAL ADVICE The course teaches how the rules work. It doesn't tell you what to do in your own legal situation, and it says when a free consult is the next step. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING A privacy course that collected your data would be a bad joke. There is nothing to sign into. Progress stays on your phone. There are no analytics and no advertising. The app works offline. Your Data Rights is a Pettigrew Lab project.
