I enjoyed reading your autobiography, and you brought up some compelling elements of having a public identity that I hadn't previously considered. I like how you brought up the issue of inadvertently revealing the identities of family members when you choose to live a public lifestyle and post information about yourself online. I thought your relation of this issue back to your blog post topic was a great addition to your data profile, and it really put your opinion in perspective. One thing I think you could revise is the two sections, "Data Brokers" and "My Data Identity." I noticed that both of these sections are analyzing your data broker report, so they could be combined into one section. Alternatively, you could use the "My Data Identity" section to compare data found through your data report versus a Google search. Additionally, you only brought up the Google search in your introduction without adequately analyzing what you were able to find. This information could be its own new section, or you could add it to either the "My Data Identity" or "Privacy and Online Image" section. Lastly, I think you could have added a new more photos relating to data you found, as only one of your two current images is actually pulled from data your found on yourself.

Hi Logan,

Your data identity statement is very interesting, and I enjoyed reading it. I completely empathize with the feeling of disappointment that you had when you couldn't find yourself on Google! This hook really drew me in because I had the same experience. I also liked how you wove in the narrative that you and privacy had a hot and cold, sometimes adversarial relationship. It was an interesting narrative throughout your entire autobiographical statement, and it was definitely a fun and enlightening part of your entire statement.
