Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information.

Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can't believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won't be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.

Also have a California ip you get a different privacy policy.

my roku TV felt my wrath because it dared to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.

i promptly disabled internet on it completely. now it's a dumb TV. and my life is much better.

i’d rather masturbate with a cheese grater than own a “smart” tv….

no like i’ve been a computer nerd my whole life and went to college for computer science… and i control my own computer, unlike almost everyone else.
and at least with a pc you can control it… most people don’t

and at least with a pc you can control it

True.

most people don’t

Also true, and why I was skeptical.
Heck, you have people saying they control their computer but Chrome is going around scanning their entire system without them realising it!
