WASHINGTON : Amazon.com and a subsidiary reached separate multi-million dollar settlements with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday related to privacy violations of children using its voice assistant Alexa and homeowners using its Ring doorbell camera.
"While we disagree with the FTC’s claims regarding both Alexa and Ring, and deny violating the law, these settlements put these matters behind us," Amazon.com said in a statement.Ring will pay $5.8 million for mishandling customers' videos, according to a separate filing in federal court in the District of Columbia.
The FTC also said Ring gave employees unrestricted access to customers' sensitive video data said"as a result of this dangerously overbroad access and lax attitude toward privacy and security, employees and third-party contractors were able to view, download, and transfer customers' sensitive video data for their own purposes."
