LG Washers And Other Appliances Sell Your Personal Data

Life’s Good (LG) products are selling customers’ private and personal data, something that purchasers cannot opt out of or they cannot use the products.

Customers are increasingly becoming aware of the issues surrounding LG’s smart products; as earlier this year some customers started noticing their LG appliances were consuming huge amounts of WIFI data. One user posted on social media his LG washing machine was using 3.66 GB of data daily, Tom’s Hardware reported.

A Reddit user also highlighted how someone’s LG smart washing machine was using roughly 11 GB of data weekly.

But now consumers are starting to realize LG’s devices are collecting and selling all sorts of personal and private information, and there is no way to get out of it unless people stop using the appliances all together.

Tech repairman and right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossman highlighted this in a recent video after one of his viewers provided screenshots of the new updates to the terms and conditions. Customers are not being given the option to decline but are forced to accept via the connected app.

LG notes in its Terms of Service that the company can sell this data to third-party marketers and firms.

Furthermore, for LG’s smart vacuum cleaners, the company states they collect “images and drawings, maps, cleaning reservation information, clearing history, cleaning diary and video list information.” However, this carries over if customers accept the terms of the agreement for other devices. In other words, if a customer accepts the terms and conditions to use their connected washing machine then that also carries over into LG products connected to the app.

Moreover, in the case of LG’s smart televisions, the company will collect info on the device’s feature settings, content recommendation list ID, and content ID. In other words, LG knows what the person is watching, when, and for how long.

Rossman reminded viewers of a story several years ago when a certified Apple repairman found a sex tape on the customer’s phone, and then uploaded it to the person’s social media page after the repair person logged into the customer’s account. This is why devices collecting all this very personal data is very dangerous.

I’ve continued to cover how we basically have zero privacy anymore. Everything about us is sold for a price. Of course, the only way to avoid most of it is to not buy and use these products. Avoid “smart” technologies; they are a trap.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
