This isn't cool at all. C'mon, ring.. you charge us for the device, you charge us for the privilege of having cloud - stored video, do you \*really\* have to resort to this kind of skeevy behavior like some underfunded start-up? Stop it. Right this instant. Rip all that garbage out of your app, when I use the app is no one business' but MINE and MINE ALONE, you hear? But of course you'll ignore this and all other replies, so I'll be writing my two RINOs in Congress to have a look at this. Un-@$@#-believable!

BAgreed, this is not good. Checking my app and documentation I am not finding where Ring informed that this data would be collected and shared. I do not want to share my information with thrid parties that I do not enter into a commercial relationship with. This needs to be disabled. In the meantime I will look at blocking this traffic from leaving my network, baring that will be exploring alternative options. I bought Ring for convience and security, to see them selling my data is gross misconduct in my eyes.

Piling on so they hear us. We pay a subscription for a security product. We will not accept third party data sharing of any kind, in any way. It is too easy to switch. So many good products now. NEST Simplisafe ADT Arlo ... Announce that there will be no third party trackers and release a new version of the app with that statement or see mass defection.
