Waarschuwing: *Privacy niet inbegrepen bij dit product
If you're looking for noise-cancelling earbuds with lots of modes, here you go. These little buds have an ultra mode for traveling, a cozy mode for keeping you focused, and a general mode for general stuff, we suppose. Voice mode lets you hear voices (not the ones in your head). And then there is the AI Life app that lets you choose from all these different modes as well as discover the location of your little headphones if they go missing. One thing we’re afraid these little earphones probably don’t come with is a privacy mode.
Wat kan er gebeuren als er iets misgaat?
Huawei's 5G technology is blocked in the US, as the company is labeled a national security threat in the country. Many other countries have issued bans on some of Huawei’s technology too. What does that mean for Huawei's fitness bands that are still popular in Europe and elsewhere around the world? For us, it raises some serious privacy questions.
Huawei collects and shares a large amount of data. They also say they can collect and share data about you from public and commercial sources. One way they share this data is with their business partners, who can use it to make predictions about your interests and send you ads. That’s a lot of data collection and sharing.
And while China has recently put in place a sweeping new privacy protection law, there are questions about how much access the Chinese government has to personal information collected and stored within China. All in all, it seems to us there are safer options for fitness trackers when it comes to protecting your privacy and security.
