Privacy statement concern

I can't update at the moment, but I will when I get home. I will also then check the settings to see what options there are to opt out of data collection. Like I said though, I'm not concerned.

I don't really care that much if Sonos knows that I called a zone 'bathroom' and I like to listen to Weird Al Yankovic in there.

Thank God there's no taste-police. :8

Apart from Weird Al, parts of what you described is already being collected by Sonos. You can review the collected data in the 'My data' section of your Sonos user profile.
Actually it's just missing the track titles and respective zone player room names for played titles, but that's what changes in privacy polices are made for, I guess?!

From the article: "Society as a whole continues down a path where devices in your home, traditionally our most private space, are largely controlled by other people who want to know what you're doing."
Short of living on a hill, off every grid, I don't see how to avoid the inevitable.

That said, I haven't heard anything from Sonos. Probably because Amazon hasn't released Echo/Alexa in India as of now.

Oops, I just noticed the 7.4 update which seems to just be the privacy thing!

You should go update,. You must confirm agreement with the privacy policy as a whole, no option to decline, no option to decline specific data collection you want to opt out of.
Opt out of what? Disenroll from data I have been providing since the very beginning? :D


No, Sonos will not disable your products. In short, the new privacy statement is the same as the old statement. What changed is the additional data usage option that is optional. So are the Voice and Trueplay options.
Much ado about nothing.

Would be great if you could post back if there are opt out options after you agree to the policy.

My data only contains my registered products, I've opted out of the other data collection. And the update only provides an agree to the policy option. Do you see the issue now?

No. Have you opted out of Alexa too?

The privacy policy on this website says that you can opt out of data collection. So no, I don't see a good reason to believe that agreeing to the new privacy policy means that you are giving up the ability to opt out of data collection.

maybe, but I imagine someone else will get to it before me.

Stop being a troll, we are talking about the Sonos policy.

My partner just ran the update on our system fuck me Sonos.
