Privacy & Family StoriesThis month, Barbara is back from last month’s undisclosed location in the Sierra Foothills and ready for Kathy’s deep dive into Privacy for Family Historians and Genealogists. This is the kind of topic that, like backups, is basic to “adulting” today. However, as family historians and genealogists, we have to take special precautions around privacy. It’s also a field in constant flux. In an age of AI, bad actors have access to intelligence accelerants that they could only have imagined before. Kathy will use Thursday’s episode to share some of the learnings from her specialized training in privacy as a photo manager. Like accountants and attorneys, photo managers often handle very personal information for their clients. That experience gives Kathy a framework all of us can benefit from. Like the brass tacks and sticky tape Kathy usually has for us, you know you can count on her for a nifty collection of resources to share in Thursday’s program.Do you have friends or family members who may benefit from this? Please share our work and invite friends and family to join us:If you can’t make it on Thursday, you can always catch up by watching the recording. As always, you’ll find the full archive at Kathy’s Corner: Projectkin.org/kathys-corner.About Kathy StoneKathy has been the “cornerstone” of Projectkin from the beginning, when we started on another platform more than three years ago.
