Infographic: Smart Doesn't Equal Safe

This is the result of a yearly study by the non-profit founded in 2003, which analyzed privacy policies, company websites, news reports, research whitepapers, app store listings and consumer reviews of 196 popular products from segments like wearables, connected health devices or entertainment. As our chart shows, the biggest offenders can not only be found on your phone but also next to your couch and in your children's rooms. When it comes to smart toys for children, for example, the non-profit categorized a market-and-kitchen playset by KidKraft as questionable when it comes to privacy, since its Alexa integration and corresponding skill don't have separate privacy policies. Other offenders from this segment include Amazon's smart display Echo Show for Kids and drones by DJI and Ryze. The entertainment category featuring video game consoles, tablets, streaming sticks and e-book readers contained nine products not passing the bar set by Mozilla Foundation's analysts, including Meta's Oculus Quest 2 and Amazon's range of Fire tablets.
