>device sends statistical information (aggregate) to the company
Is there any device/service that does that ? In my (limited) experience working on consumer product, the device sends detailed info that is then aggregated.
- tlb 7y agoI don't know of any, but you might hope that some devices would change from the "sends detailed info" category to "sends aggregate info" as a result of having to declare which they do.
- jacquesm 7y agoThat was exactly the goal, to coerce companies to select the lesser offensive category if their internal needs can be satisfied that way so they will end up moving more product than a party that takes whatever it can get.
- telemterioc 7y agoMany applications (Firefox for example) send aggregated usage data if you enable telemetry, like how many times you used feature X in the last week. I guess they aggregate it to avoid too much bandwidth usage.
