Your Phone is the Key to Your House: A Security Discussion with 360 Privacy | PGA Players' Podcast #20

Key highlights from the episode

• Digital vulnerabilities can reach any athlete household, regardless of fame.

• Security is a full-family effort.

• Public information, including property records and youth sports rosters, builds a digital map of your lives that can be picked apart by the wrong hands.

• Small adjustments—like using unique passwords, disabling geotagging, and having candid conversations with kids about oversharing—add up to a significant defensive wall for your personal privacy.

• Treat your devices and online profiles like extensions of your physical security. • You’d lock the front door at night; make sure your digital doors are bolted too.

Special Operations Approach to Family Privacy

When professional athletes and their families become targets, adversaries don’t follow the rules. 360 Privacy steps in like a trusted coach, bringing the playbook and discipline honed in special operations. Their advisors don’t just suggest best practices—they personally guide families through them, using the same thorough checklists and situational awareness that kept them safe in the field.

Routines That Keep Privacy Tight

Privacy isn’t a one-and-done fix. Device settings change with each update, new data leaks out with every purchase or account sign-up, and online exposure is an open invitation to bad actors. 360 Privacy’s process is relentless: removing personal data from over 500 broker sites daily, returning to reset privacy controls after every device update, and making sure the basic blocking and tackling of digital hygiene become muscle memory for everyone involved.

A simple takeout order or a child’s new school device can open the door for unwelcome attention. That’s why the 360 Privacy team sits down with clients to create hidden email accounts for delivery, guide families through securing new phones or tablets, and confirm that nothing slips through the cracks—no matter how small.

Personalized Playbooks for the Whole Team

Every family is different, and so is every threat. During the episode, the team shares stories—a young client’s child reached at school because of a missed privacy step; a spouse surprised by a phishing attempt after a move—to highlight that privacy lapses often come from the unexpected. 360 Privacy responds with situational coaching: custom checklists for each family member, refresher sessions as routines change, and immediate guidance if something feels off.

That means teaching kids to recognize suspicious DMs without scaring them, showing partners how to set up privacy controls on the latest app, and ensuring support staff are in sync with security protocols. This isn’t theory; it’s hands-on, practical, and matched to the daily lives of elite families.

Staying Ahead Together

Threats shift, platforms change, and one overlooked app update can break a defense. 360 Privacy stands beside clients with regular reviews, fresh training, and on-call expertise—all informed by direct experience and real stories from families at risk. It’s a disciplined, ongoing process that puts every member of the household in the best position to recognize red flags and keep privacy protected.

Protect Your Family Like a Team Protects Its Star Player

In order to minimize and mitigate digital risks it is crucial to have an experienced partner to educate, protect, and adapt with a process designed for the unique needs of athletes and their loved ones. Start building habits, defenses, and routines for a safer future—one session, one device, one family at a time.
