that according to federal filings, Amazon has reached an agreement to pay more than $30 million to resolve claims of privacy violations involving its voice assistant Alexa and doorbell camera Ring.The Federal Trade Commission charged the tech giant with violating privacy laws by holding onto children’s data, including voice and geolocation information, despite parental requests for its deletion.
Amazon will pay a $25 million civil fine as part of the settlement and will not be allowed to use data that has been asked to be deleted. Additionally, the business will be required to delete children’s inactive Alexa accounts and notify its clients of the FTC’s actions. “Ring’s disregard for privacy and security exposed consumers to spying and harassment,” Levine said. “The FTC’s order makes clear that putting profit over privacy doesn’t pay.”
