Although Kangaroo doesn’t keep video or audio data, the company tracks users’ geolocations, IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, and more. The company hasn’t had any security breaches, but it shares this customer information with third parties. The Kangaroo app also lacks two or multi-factor authentication, making account cracking easier for hackers.
