Parent reconsiders kids' smartwatch after reading privacy policy

Original: Vi köpte in en sådan där klocka till den lilla, som hon kan använda när hon är ute på egen hand i grannskapet. Nu när ja

A parent in Sweden says they bought a GPS smartwatch for their young daughter so she could be out alone in the neighbourhood, but changed their mind after reading the company's privacy policy. The policy grants the maker rights to listen in on calls and access other data, and the family is now seriously considering returning the device over the surveillance terms.

Why now: Growing concern over children's smartwatches collecting and sharing family data without clear consent.
