    • TikTok's New Terms - What You Need to Know
      Feb 4 2026

      The agreement you clicked through without reading just changed the rules. In this episode of SipCyber, Jen Lotze visits Raw Deal in Menominee, Wisconsin, and breaks down TikTok's recent U.S. Terms and Privacy Policy update—the one most people accepted without a second thought while scrolling between videos.

      Recorded fresh off a middle school basketball tournament, Jen reflects on watching kids toggle between the game and their screens, building digital footprints they don't yet understand. The new policy isn't just another legal update—it's a meaningful expansion of what TikTok collects, how precisely it tracks location, how it uses AI interactions, and how that data follows users long after the moment it was captured.

      This isn't about banning apps or blaming parents. It's about awareness. Because the systems collecting data on all of us—adults and kids alike—are sophisticated, persistent, and not designed with our best interests in mind.

      • Key Topics Covered:
      • What actually changed in TikTok's updated U.S. privacy policy
      • How precise location tracking works—and why it matters
      • AI feature data collection you might not realize you're participating in
      • Why data patterns are more dangerous than individual data points
      • How digital footprints follow kids into adulthood
      • Practical steps to review app permissions and protect your household

      Don't let the fine print decide for you. Subscribe for weekly cybersecurity insights delivered from local coffee shops across the country—and share this with any parent who needs to hear it.

    • What a Hurricane Taught Me About Cyber Recovery
      Jan 21 2026

      What do a North Carolina brewery destroyed by Hurricane Helene and a cybersecurity victim have in common? More than you think. This isn't just another "how to prevent hacks" episode—it's about what happens when the levee breaks.

      Host Jen Lotze shares a powerful story from Zillicoah Beer Company in North Carolina, where 10 years of hard work was washed away in an afternoon. With zero insurance payout, the owners went back to brewing basics—working day jobs and scrubbing kegs by night. Their recovery story reveals what most cybersecurity content won't tell you: 90% of bouncing back is emotional, not technical.

      If you've ever been scammed, felt that soul-crushing shame, or wondered what to do when prevention fails, this episode is your roadmap back to solid ground.

      What You'll Learn:

      • The 3-step cyber crisis recovery checklist (report to IC3.gov, freeze credit, talk to a human)
      • Why shame keeps victims isolated—and how community breaks that cycle
      • How freezing your credit protects you while you clean up the mess
      • The unexpected parallels between natural disaster recovery and cyber incident response
      • Why you're not stupid for getting scammed—you're just human

      Subscribe for more no-BS cybersecurity advice that treats you like a human, not a firewall.
