More bad news about Ring. A new report says the Android version of the app is sending user data to third parties.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a respected digital civil liberties nonprofit, made the revelation on Monday. According to its report, Ring’s Android app is “packed with third-party trackers sending out a plethora of customers’ personally identifiable information (PII).”
That information includes “names, private IP addresses, mobile network carriers, persistent identifiers, and sensor data on the devices of paying customers.”
