According to Proton's latest Spam Watch 2025 report, nearly 80% of promotional emails now contain trackers that report back your email activity. We discuss how these trackers work, why they become more aggressive during the holidays, the data being collected by marketers, and how you can protect yourself. We are joined by Scott Wright to explore Proton's comprehensive study, identify the worst offenders in email tracking, and share tips on maintaining your online privacy. Tune in and stay informed about the invisible surveillance in your emails this holiday season!
