I am sorry if I am being rude... Don't you think its a huge issue of trust?. The data can be sold to insurance or advertising companies ( no HIPAA or other laws to protect the data here ).
- KajMagnus 7y agoI imagine having worms and other illnesses is a worse problem, than insurance and advertising companies. Yes personal data protection it's a good thing to think about, maybe not the highest prio problem though.

- rusticpenn 7y agoIf your insurance knows about the problem before your doctor, there are lot of grey areas which could be misused.
- paulcole 7y agoYes, Sandy will sell that information and use it to provide targeted advertising. EG if you have worms, she will announce ads and discounts for anti-worm medication. We call it Sandy with special offers. If you'd like to pay extra you can get a special-offer-free experience. If you don't like the idea of any data collection you can just buy a cat litter box and have your own Sandy (without the added features). Don't see how this is an issue.
