Eavesdropping air fryers ‘sending data to China’

Air fryers may be serving up a side of surveillance with your chicken and chips.

What smart watch doesn't do all that? I have an Apple Watch and I'm pretty certain that it does way worse than just all of that.

They didn't publish the full responses, e.g.

Huawei said: “Huawei takes consumers’ privacy incredibly seriously. Clearly, to be useful lifestyle and health/fitness partners, smartwatches require permissions to access a number of personal data; we are very clear both on the devices at set-up, and on the companion app Huawei Health, which permissions are required and why, and users have full control over turning them on or off at any time.”
