> Our Sizing App, which can either be downloaded as an application to your mobile device or used without a download through our website, may transmit your digital photos and measurements to a third-party sizing provider together with an anonymous identification number solely for the purpose of analyzing the photos to extract your body measurements to provide sizing advice. https://www.wacoal-america.com/privacy-policy https://www.wacoal-america.com/privacy-policy Yeah, that would be a huge NO, what could go wrong with app collecting user breast photos, which can be matched with user phone number and also sending them to 3rd party.

    I didn't say they send it within sizing app, I said they can match it with data (breast photos) from the sizing app which they send to third party (probably should use there comma after "number" to distinguish them), since they collect these (under other circumstances): What Categories of Personal Information Do We Collect?

So they actually created an app which intentionally collects images of women in their underwear? That sounds like a company-ending ticking time bomb to me: any data leak or hack or vulnerability at all, and you will forever lose all trust. Their selling point is that you can get rid of the "measuring tape and bra quizzes", but the demonstration video clearly shows that you still have to answer quite a few questions for the thing to work properly. Not to mention that the measurements it gives cannot possibly be accurate if they instruct you to take them while wearing a bra, and the poses shown seem to be more applicable to measuring generic things like your waistline than your bra size. Honestly, it sounds to me like they were too busy figuring out whether they could to stop and think a minute whether they should.
