Smart home technology allows us to turn on our heating so it's nice and warm before we get through the door, or control all the lights, TVs, and speakers in the house. It can even tell us when the fridge is running low on something, or when the laundry cycle has finished. But, by embracing these conveniences, how much are we giving up in the process via the apps they need to function? We're going to take a look at a couple of apps that accompany these smart devices throughout this talk. We'll start with diving into the privacy policies of each to see just how up-front they are about the data they're collecting and who it gets shared with/sold to. After that, we'll move onto where the data is going, how often it gets collected, and ultimately which third parties also get to know you.
