For example, the FTC complaint says that Amazon told users it would delete voice transcripts and location information upon request, but then failed to do so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-n6w1lc\">In one instance in 2017, employees of Ring viewed videos made by at least 81 female customers and Ring employees using Ring products. \u201cUndetected by Ring, the employee continued spying for months,\u201d the FTC said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-n6w1lc\">A colleague noticed the misconduct and the employee was eventually terminated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-n6w1lc\">The FTC also said Ring gave employees unrestricted access to customers\u2019 sensitive video data said \u201cas 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\u2019 sensitive video data for their own purposes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-n6w1lc\">As part of the FTC agreement with Ring, which spans 20 years, Ring is required to disclose to customers how much access to their data the company and its contractors have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-n6w1lc\">In February 2019, Ring changed its policies so that most Ring employees or contractors could only access a customer\u2019s private video with that person\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
