Canary Flex Privacy Report
The Canary Flex does a lot of things right when it comes to ensuring its users privacy, from requiring users to use a strong password to pushing regular firmware updates. However, we know for a fact that Canary logs personal data of users, the location of each Canary device they own, payment information, and activity logs. Canary also reserves the right to share those pieces of data with third parties, which is why the Canary Flex received a significant point deduction.
