Amazon's Ring security shares your personal data with Facebook and Google

Amazon's Ring security shares your personal data with Facebook and Google, report says

Ring users may have more than secure passwords and hackers to think about

A report surfaced Monday suggesting that the Amazon-owned company shares tons of users' personal information with lots of different sources including Facebook, even if you don't have a Facebook account.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation published its findings after closely examining the Android version of the Ring app.

The non-profit determined that the app is "packed with third-party trackers sending out a plethora of customers' personally identifiable information." And this is done "without meaningful user notification or consent and, in most cases, no way to mitigate the damage done," the EFF said.

snip - Ring said in a statement that "uses third-party service providers to evaluate the use of our mobile app, which helps us improve features, optimize the customer experience and evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing."
