Collecting user data is big business and big money but we do not get to share the money. And I am not convinced that even if we opt out that our information is nt shared. Mandatory registration? Interesting.

Hi all,

I just thought I would post this for those of you using or thinking about using 
Sonos speakers.  Sonos is now making it mandatory that users register their 
devices, and has instituted a new privacy policy requiring that users agree to 
allow them to collect users' data and information.  Below is a link to an 
article I found that discusses that issue.  I was not able to find the 
mentioned setting that allows you to disable usage data sharing, maybe someone 
else will be able to do that.  But even so, the article gives a good overview 
of these changes.

For Alexa users this may be nothing new.  But as for me, I don't see any reason 
for them to get my information.  My Sonos speakers may be going on Craig's list.
Cheers,
Donna
