Litter Robot 3 Connect

Here’s something: Whisker, maker of the Litter-Robot 3 Connect, wins our award for the longest privacy policy we reviewed. It goes on and on and on and on. But hey, it’s better than no privacy policy, so we’re not exactly complaining (we might be complaining a little).

So, what’s the verdict on the Litter-Robot 3 Connect? Well, the good news is, the company says they don’t sell your data. Good! They do say they engage in personalized advertising, which, hey, just about everyone does these days. That’s the reality of our digital ad economy. Part of the reason their privacy policy is so long is they list out all the advertising entities they work with, from Facebook, Google, Pinterest, Amazon, Microsoft, and lots more. We actually don’t mind that the company lays out everyone (and we mean everyone) they advertise with. Just know if you share data with this company, you’ll likely see ads in lots of places.

What’s the worst that could happen with your fancy robot litter box? Probably not too much, although anything with a WiFi connection could always be compromised and then compromise all the WiFi in your home. That’s not likely, but the potential is there. Here’s hoping no one ends up spying on you as you spy on your cat pooping.
