Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information.

Clarification: after a bit of research it seems the olfactory section pertains to CCPA California law, many places have olfactory in the privacy policy because it is required by the law. I can’t believe we reached a point where we have to put olfactory in the privacy policy, but then again it won’t be long before Smell-O-Vision becomes reality.

They removed it, archived here: https://archive.ph/YYBuJ

Also have a California ip you get a different privacy policy.

    my roku TV felt my wrath because it dared to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.

    i promptly disabled internet on it completely. now it’s a dumb TV. and my life is much better.

      I want to recommend that you change your WiFi password. Even though you disabled the internet, it may still phone home.

        Better yet, tear the wifi antenna off the board, can’t connect to wifi without any antenna, no matter how hard you try.

                  no like i’ve been a computer nerd my whole life and went to college for computer science… and i control my own computer, unlike almost everyone else.
                  and at least with a pc you can control it… most people don’t

                    True.

                    most people don’t

                    Also true, and why I was skeptical.
                    Heck, you have people saying they control their computer but Chrome is going around scanning their entire system without them realising it!
