I found their privacy policy: https://www.escortradar.com/pages/privacy-policy It's not a great one. It reserves the right to share account information with third parties for marketing purposes. It is vague about whether that includes location data. It also says they won't share your identity as part of the road alert service, but it doesn't promise not to use personally identifiable location data for other purposes. I sent an email to the address listed for questions. We will see if they respond. |

And wow, I got a response from them while typing that. I'm not going to quote it without permission, but the response says that they do not log any identification information from the device itself, and that the data that can be shared for marketing purposes is limited to that which you give them on their web site.

Some of you are mincing about their privacy policy, yet I'm sure you're also using Facebook, Amazon or some other major internet media site.
Yeah... Not worth sweating over. Your info is already out there in a major way. As for the 360, no issues here. It learns and adapts to your vehicle. That's the design.

Amazon is more like Microsoft in my previous example. As a provider of cloud platform services, their business model is not advertisement sales (like Facebook/Google), so they have every incentive in the world to provide user privacy rather than sell it down river. So while I'm not paranoid about data privacy, with extensive industry experience in this area I know a little about it, and always try to choose the lesser of evils (which means avoiding Google/Facebook). |
