Privacy statement concern

Am I the only one that finds the new privacy statement disturbing? I cannot recall ever being told when I bought my seven products over a period of time that Sonos had the right to threaten disabling my property if I didn't pass over personal information. Does anyone in the UK know if, by law, they can blackmail consumers in this way, post-purchase?

    Maybe unexpectedly, but I don’t strongly disagree with anything you wrote, you are just missing my point.

    The (potential) outrage is around existing customers required to agree with a substantively different (for lack of better wording) value of goods and interaction model. It is unheard of for a consumer goods company to demand a customer who has paid for the goods, do something new for that company or their goods will no longer function.

    jgatie, you have 13869 replies; if you spent (at least) a minute per post, that’s almost one full day of your life on a Sonos support platform. Hopefully you are enjoying your speakers when typing away, with their policy, Sonos can probably figure out what room you are replying in and other details….. 🆒
    Wow, how many times does it need to be stated that your Sonos will NOT stop functioning when you don't accept the slightly adjusted statement, you simply won't be able to update anymore which can result in services stop working in the future when things change that need an update...

    When your argument breaks down, attack the number of posts a person has. How incredibly boring, especially when by your math, over the 9 years I've been posting, I've spent exactly .030% of my time here.

    Of course, like your points, your math is wrong. 13869 min ÷ (60 min/hr * 24 hr/day) = 9 days and change. 🆒
