#IoT: Sex Toys Caught in Data Dilemma

Posted on September 9, 2016June 26, 2025 by Dissent

Rose Bouboushian reports:

 Maybe some things should stay low-tech. Hauling her smartphone-paired vibrator to federal court, an Illinois woman says the makers of We-Vibe are keeping tabs on users’ most intimate data.

Going only by her initials in the 18-page class action, N.P. says she bought herself a $130 We-Vibe from an Illinois retailer this past May.

She used it several times then but never realized “that We-Connect monitors and records, in real time, how they use the device,” according to the Sept. 2 complaint.

Standard Innovation likewise failed to mention, the complaint continues, “that it transmits the collected private usage information to its servers in Canada.”
