Nest to Share User Information With Google
- pedalpete 12y ago“There’s a higher expectation of privacy when you are in your home.” Though I agree with the sentiment, I suspect those who are using Google Now are already giving Google more information that Nest will. For example, Google knows when you get home, having Nest know that also is barely of any more value. Google (can) know(s) what you are watching on TV, the recipes you search for, the music you're listening to, etc. etc. If your friends are using Google Now, it's likely that they can be tracked to your house when they come and visit. Of course, it may be the DropCam acquisition which makes us take notice of this. What data from DropCam will Google get through this deal? Will they have the image and time of everybody who comes to your door?
