Kangaroo System and Packaging  - Product Header Image

Kangaroo gains a lot of points for not logging customer’s audio or video recordings, but they turn around and lose those points for collecting a ton of information about their customers — including sensitive items like geographic location, number of people in household, and digital data about how, where, and why their site was accessed.

Kangaroo also sells this information to third parties, which we aren’t huge fans of. We wouldn’t say any of these drawbacks are fireable offenses, but they do raise some red flags.
