Every step we take, every move we make, "Big Data" is watching us.
Our computers, phones and countless other devices are generating long trails of electronic data -- information that can be stored and analyzed who-knows-where for who-knows-what by who-knows-who.
When our lives can be retrieved at the stroke of a key, what happens to privacy? Does the government become too powerful? Could our traditional freedoms be threatened and do we care?
This weekend, Fox News delves into the world of daily data and examines stories that would have seemed entirely unconnected only a few years ago:
Government whistleblowers fretting about a mysterious new spy center in the Utah desert.
In today's world, it all ties together. And in 'Fox News Reporting: Your Secret's Out' we're connecting the dots.

Twenty-five miles due south of Salt Lake City, a massive construction project is nearing completion. The heavily secured site belongs to the National Security Agency.
"The spy center" -- that's what some of the locals like Jasmine Widmer, who works at Bluffdale's sandwich shop, told our Fox News team as part of an eight month investigation into data collection and privacy rights that will be broadcast Sunday at 9 p.m. ET called "Fox News Reporting: Your Secrets Out.”
The NSA says the Utah Data Center is a facility for the intelligence community that will have a major focus on cyber security. The agency will neither confirm nor deny specifics. Some published reports suggest it could hold 5 zettabytes of data. (Just one zettabyte is the equivalent of the data in 62 billion I ph or 23 billion laptops)
