Sonos Appears To Have Changed Its Privacy Policy To Allow It To Sell Your Data
From the “this is a new low” department comes an apparent privacy policy change by speaker maker Sonos that seems at first glance to give it the right to sell your data. This was spotted by YouTuber Louis Rossman and you can watch the video here:
Sonos does not and will not sell personal information about our customers. However, certain data practices described throughout this Privacy Statement may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of data under California and/or other US state laws. See the below CA Addendum for more information applicable to CA residents. We want you to understand that information about our customers is an important part of our business. We only disclose your data as described in this Statement

I had a look online and didn’t see anything from Sonos trying to explain this. Instead I saw a lot of people complaining that Sonos has broken their app. So maybe a response from Sonos will be inbound once this makes its way around the Interwebs. And it will be interesting to see what the company says.
