Je Joue Nuo
Review date: 02/07/2021
This butt plug comes with dual motors to create vibrating points in both the bulb and the base. Connect via Bluetooth to an app on your phone and you or your partner can control the toy locally within about 30 feet of the device. The app lets you create a playlist to share with your partner or save a session for later. Bluetooth-enabled with only a local connection makes this connected toy fairly privacy friendly for use at home. Bluetooth can be hijacked though so be careful using it in public. There was no privacy policy for their app though and it does say it accesses location data, which is a bit of a concern.
What could happen if something goes wrong
The Je Joue Nuo feels a bit sketchy when it comes to privacy and security. A couple of years ago when we reviewed Je Joue, we couldn't find a privacy policy for them at all. This time around we were able to find a privacy policy on their website, so that's a step up. However, the privacy policy is pretty unclear on whether it covers any data collected by the app used to control this device or only information collected on their website. They do collect personal information and use that to market to you. Je Joue also makes it sound like their app can be used to control this device over the internet. However, that doesn't appear to be the case. It seems like their app is mostly a remote control to be used locally with a feature to share playlists, rather than true remote internet controlled device. We saw lots of angry comments about this confusion on their Google Play store app page. All in all, while this product is Bluetooth connected, it seems less like it is designed to be used remotely. That's not a bad thing for your privacy, it makes it less vulnerable to hacks. However, the company just doesn't seem to put much of an emphasis on privacy and security so we'd say buyer beware.
