Here’s everything you need to know about data privacy in sex toys and the apps that connect to them.

You download a new app, eager to get past the sign-in page and all the pop-ups asking you if you’re super sure you don’t want to pay for the premium version. When you’re almost there, the app asks you to agree to a lengthy privacy policy. If you’re like me and lack caution, you hastily check “yes” and move on. This scenario is becoming an increasingly common problem as more gadgets require companion apps to control them. And sex toys are no exception.
