## Caption

Your face can tell people a lot more about you than you might think and in a new world your every move can be tracked. The I-Team's Melissa Russo reports in part four of our privacy series. 

More on our privacy series: In a culture obsessed with posting, liking and sharing – what information are we sharing and do we like how it can be used by others?

A picture can be used to create a new identity as part of an online scam. When strangers overhear parts of our conversations or even just look at our clothing, they can find out exactly who we are with a simple Google search.

With biometrics surreptitiously tracking and scanning us when we don’t even know it – do our faces even belong to us? Can we really expect privacy anymore?

While our government crawls to create legislation, they’re getting lapped as technology races ahead at a breakneck pace.

Big data and social media companies are changing what it means to be a stranger among strangers.
