• What we'll do
A Newcastle Libraries and Open Rights Group North East event to help you get the digital security and privacy skills you need to make the most of the Internet and your mobile phone.
Boost your browsing (12:30-14:00)
How your browser is configured can change your Internet experience and determine how much information others can see about your browsing habits.
However, there are simple ways to make your browsing more private and more secure.
In this session we will explore how tracking in the browser works and then what steps you can take to limit the information your browser gives away. By the end you will be able to make informed decisions about how you share your data, know how to change default settings and install add-ons and extensions.
PS: Do bring your smartphone or laptop with you!
Mastering your mobile (14:30-15:30)
Your phone is talking to you, and it is constantly generating and transmitting data to others. This workshop will open the box on your mobile phone. Explore how it works and find what choices and changes you can make to increase your security and privacy. Walk away with practical tips and tricks on basic phone security and detoxing your data traces.
You are welcome to attend one or both sessions.

We understand you may not want to use Eventbrite and therefore booking for these sessions is not mandatory. If however you do not mind using Eventbrite we would be very grateful if you registered so that quite simply we can make sure we have enough seats for everyone!
Cryptoparties are a great way for anyone to learn how to install and use tools to help secure their online communications.
Find out more information about the meeting here: https://forum.cryptopartynewcastle.org/t/next-cryptoparty-12-november-2016/30
Our next event will be taking place:
1:30PM to 3:30PM on Saturday 12 November 2016
at Newcastle City Library!
Location
Newcastle City Library is located in the Charles Avison Building on Newbridge Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. You can find a map here.
As with our previous party, we will be in the former-Crèche room on Level 2 of the library.
Event Topics
Our event topics are subject to change, depending on volunteer availability, but they are likely to include:
Tor Browser2 and TAILS4
Signal Private Messenger1
Full Disk Encryption1
Email Encryption with PGP
Password Managers (such as KeePass1)
Attending
You don't need to register to attend. Please feel free to turn up and have a browse around. At the event, we will organise volunteers into a series of informal tables, each covering a different topic relevant to the CryptoParty ethos. Attendees can move between tables they are interested in, learn a variety of technologies, and hopefully have a fun time!
We would recommend bringing:
A laptop (we can show you how to install and configure the Tor Browser, and encrypt your data)
An empty USB drive (if you want to learn how to use TAILS)
A notepad/pen (always useful)
Any questions you may have about privacy or crypto. We will try our best to answer them!
Volunteering
If you know a bit about some of the topics above, or feel like there's a topic missing which we could cover at the event, please let us know in this thread. We would greatly appreciate any help!
If you feel like you might be able to help out in other ways (advertising the group, organising meetings etc.) then please don't hesitate to comment either. You don't have to be a tech expert! We are here to help everyone as much as we can!

Customer Experience and Data, Measuring Experience
Description changed:
Customer Experience and Data: Measuring Experience
with Sean Burton
Sean will talk about the disconnect between what companies invest in digital marketing versus what they spend in making sure that the money is actually well spent, and how digital analytics and Customer Experience (CX) go hand-in-hand to help solve this problem. He’ll show how these two tools can allow businesses to find and fix pain points as well as find hidden gems that improve experience and increase revenue.
