This is the personal data that cell phones and smart devices collect about us.

There are more and more smart devices to make life easier for people. To do this, these teams must know as much as possible about their user, in order to offer the best possible service.

As stated by the Spanish company All4sec cybersecurity, these devices store a series of data, sometimes even much more information than the ones they strictly need to perform their tasks.

This information is then structured and sold several times without our knowledge and without our authorization.

Among the various data collected, we distinguish:

• Registration Log data, such as that provided during device activation, such as user data identified, activity logs, or device status at any time.
• sensors Data captured by sensors incorporating the devices can also be stored. Sensors can detect motion, record audio recordings, or provide CCTV functions.
• Activity Smart devices can collect data on activities performed with the device, such as the identification of the media, that it is a mobile, a computer or tablet. They can also distinguish the function used and the activity for which it was intended (changing the channel, activating the oven, etc.).
• Other data. It has even been detected that some devices store undeclared data and that they do not respect the expected behavior, such as capturing images when a bell rings or activating voice assistants when certain words are spoken.

All of this data is personal to customers and, therefore, they have "the right to privacy and to know exactly what is going on with them", as they remember All4sec.
