Yesterday I got a pair of new headphones, Sony XM6es. Installed the App and for the first time in my life... I read the privacy policy.
I rejected it, and uninstalled the app.
Jesus fucking christ. It's a pair of headphones. They are collecting absolutely everything they can. Location, what I'm listening to, the text-to-speech, the ... anything and everything.
I've probably been naive (quite obviously) but I never thought a pair of headphones and an app to control them would collect this vast amount of data.
EDIT: I may have been to quick to assert that they collect data about other devices beyond my headphones.
Unfortunately I can't accept the terms. I tried to, via GrapheneOS, reject it's request for network access but apparently I have to be connected to the Internet in order to accept the terms. lol
Fuckers.
