And that’s just my phone. Back in 2008, Lorrie Cranor, a professor of engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University, and a colleague estimated that reading and consenting to all the privacy policies on websites Americans visit would take 244 hours per year. She hasn’t updated the tally since but tells me that now you’d have to add in not only apps and connected gadgets such as cars, but also all the third-party companies that collect data from the technology you use.
