Lioness Vibrator
|
This smart vibrator is designed to help women learn what gives them pleasure. Use the vibrator as normal. Then afterward, download the data from each session to an app on your phone. A plethora of data visualizations and information gathered from a variety of sensors in the vibrator allows users to track what gave them pleasure and how various things like stress, alcohol, or even a concussion impacts their orgasms. This feedback can the be used to learn about the users body and how to improve orgasms. As the saying goes, "The more you know." The Lioness company also takes privacy and security very seriously and are a model of doing things right.
What could happen if something goes wrong?
The Lioness company goes above and beyond what we've seen from many other companies when it comes to protecting users' privacy and security. They are upfront on their site about how they treat data, personally identifiable information, and threats to security. They encrypt their databases, fully anonymize user information, have designed their product with built-in informed consent when it comes to syncing data with the app, and have thought deeply about threat modeling. It's honestly refreshing to see a company take privacy and security so seriously. Could something still possibly go wrong? Of course. A person could leave their unlocked phone lying around and someone could pick it up and access the information from the app. That would be user error though, not anything the company did wrong.
