The Top 5 Gifts that Steal Your Privacy

“So, it just learns information about me?”

Presents should not come with privacy policies. This year, don’t give any gifts that will steal privacy from the people you love. These are the top 5 gifts that are invading our privacy:

5. Facebook Portal

Facebook Portal video surveillance with Amazon Alexa audio recording. Twice the corporate monitoring in one device.

Facebook is a data-mining and advertising company. Facebook Portal is a smart display device with a screen and a video camera. You can video chat via Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, augmented by a camera that can automatically zoom and track your movements. Facebook Portal is also integrated with Amazon’s voice-controlled assistant Alexa. So, the gift of a Facebook Portal requires you to consent to multiple corporate privacy policies and legal terms.

Do not allow Facebook to record anyone inside their own home. Constant video and audio surveillance from Facebook Portal is not a gift.

4. Tesla cars

Tesla’s Privacy Policy gives it legal access to all the car’s data, including the inside video camera.

3. YouTube Kids App

YouTube was caught red-handed tracking children online. Its illegal.

YouTube Kids is an app that can be downloaded on mobile phones, tablets, consoles, and TV’s. Google uses YouTube Kids as a mechanism to track children and advertise to them.

2. Amazon Ring

Ring ads use customer footage of innocent people with a call-to-action to call the police. This is dangerous.

Ring, an Amazon company, sells a line of home security products that incorporate motion detecting cameras, microphones, speakers, and mobile app access. Your house, watched by Amazon.

1. DNA Testing Kits

The packaging is pretty. But the legal terms and conditions are vicious.

There are many brands of home DNA testing kits, including Ancestry, 23andMe, Helix, and MyHeritage. Avoid them all. These companies use the terms and conditions to take legal ownership of your spit sample and genetic data.
