Smart sex toy maker that collected vibrator usage habits without consent to pay customers $10,000 each

The Independent - Tech 

A sex toy maker has agreed to pay customers up to $10,000 CAD each after allegations that it had collected data about its customers' We-Vibe vibrator usage habits without their consent. The smart sex toy, created by Ottawa-based Standard Innovation, allows users to control vibration intensity through an accompanying smartphone app. However, a demonstration at the Def Con hacking conference in August last year showed that the firm was secretly gathering potentially sensitive information about We-Vibe's users, including dates and times of use, temperature levels and changes in intensity.
