You have doubtless heard about the CIA tapping into Samsung TVs to spy on people, now it seems it is not just technically sophisticated gadgets such as TVs that are used to spy on you, but even the humble vibrator!
We-Vibe products (sex toys controlled via a smartphone app) have been spying on users, and sending data back to the product manufacturers.
The Telegraph reports that Canadian firm Standard Innovation, has agreed to pay C$4 million (£2.4 million) to members of the public who bought and used its We-Vibe products.
The firm, it was discovered, had been collecting data via the app, recording when customers had been using the sex toys, as well as information about the intensity of the vibration settings used. The data was collected without customers having been notified.
The court filing, made on behalf of two anonymous female We-Vibe users, said:
“Unbeknownst to its customers … (Standard Innovation) designed We-Connect to collect and record highly intimate and sensitive data regarding consumers’ personal We-Vibe use, including the date and time of each use and the selected vibration settings, and transmit such usage data — along with the users’ personal email address — to its servers in Canada.”You have been warned!
