Tracking built into the wyze app

[peepeep]

I’m not sure how anything squares with anything anymore, but here’s a little history (2019) from a Wyze fellow…
 

@Frederik

The thing is, we are being asked to open the system up and down, left and right but I have not seen a single product on the market that offers that level of flexibility or that went to the level of effort to provide information and made changes to reassure users that we are taking privacy extremely seriously. We even bet the company by not accepting a round of investment that would have not favorably served our customers.

@Frederik

We have developed a strong community and we sell through word of mouth with a referral rate that makes any marketer drool! And I should know, I live with one!

We are trying to keep everything as low cost as possible. Our conference room use conference tables that we got for free. Ikea and Amazon loves us because we are sourcing a lot through them. We examine the costs of everything very carefully and determined if it’s worth spending the money or not. TL;DR we are very cost conscious and don’t live above our means.

So why am I saying this? Because we do NOT need to sell customer data to stay in business.

Now we could just do it to make an extra buck. Except that we believe in protecting our customers. We deeply believe that your data is YOUR data and not ours to sell. We put privacy in front of everything. We see what is happening around us. We see how Facebook is getting beaten down on privacy concerns and so rightfully. It would be stupid for us to follow the same path.
