Home security debate Q: | My husband and I can't decide on a home security system. I want something affordable. He says we need professional monitoring. Can you settle the debate for us? | A: | Traditional home security companies lock you in with expensive contracts and you have to deal with pushy salespeople and an annoying installation process. Check out my sponsor SimpliSafe instead. It has sensors and cameras for every room, window and door of your home — and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Your husband will love the professional monitoring that keeps watch to send police, fire or medical professionals if there’s an emergency. And you can install it all yourself. It's easy! Right now, you can get a free HD camera if you use my special link. Go to SimpliSafeKim.com and get free shipping and a 60-day, money-back guarantee, too. |

Private email account Q: | I’m looking for an email account server that is secure. Any recommendations? | A: | I've gotten many questions like this one recently. More and more people want to move out of Big Tech's reach. I get it. That's why I'm so excited about a new sponsor of my show, StartMail. It's an email service I really trust, and you can too. They don't track you, they don't analyze your emails, and they aren't packaging up and selling your data to the highest bidder. You can send encrypted emails with one click, and when you delete an email, it’s gone forever. Go to StartMail.com/Kim to try it out yourself free for 7 days. Use my link to get your first year for 50% off. |

Do I still need a VPN? Q: | With all Apple's additional privacy features, is it still necessary to use a VPN? | A: | Good question! While Apple's new privacy features are a step in the right direction, you can't say goodbye to your other privacy practices. A VPN is essential for keeping what you do away from the prying eyes of your internet service provider and nosey Big Tech companies. I rely on ExpressVPN, and it's so fast, I never even notice when it's running. Love that. Don’t just take my word for it. Get 3 months free when you sign up for a year at ExpressVPN.com/Kim. |
