It’s that time of year again when we start to think about holiday gifts and Black Friday shopping. So as any good privacy pro knows, the Mozilla *privacy not included guide is the place to go to learn about the “creepiness” of the latest toy or gift that you are looking to buy.
This year, the guide reviews 151 products from smart toys to exercise equipment and provides lots of information related to the privacy features of each product. The purpose of the guide is to share information regarding the privacy and data collection practices for the smart products.
