This is pedantic.
The Ring Doorbell doesn't function without the App.
- ActorNightly 7y ago" Ring doorbell 'gives Facebook and Google user data" I hope I really don't have to explain the implication in this statement of how the doorbell sits there, records/listens, and then sends out data to FB/Google. Versus saying that a smartphone app collects tracking analytics, like pretty much every other major app out there.
- _jal 7y ago"No, you see? It is the remote control that explodes when you push the button. Not the TV! That's entirely different!"
- damq 7y agoIf hypothetically this analogy was even close to accurate, it would be entirely different because the remote is usually an order of magnitude less expensive than the TV.
- bdcravens 7y agoYou can have the app installed without owning a doorbell (using the Ring Security system, for example)
- derwiki 7y agoI have ring doorbell/cams and use the web site, not the app.
- TheCoelacanth 7y agoUnless the website is missing those trackers, that's a distinction without a difference.
