From the article , no cameras just data harvesting. Interesting that M4L went straight to cameras though
Standard Innovation, which produces the We-Vibe line of vibrators, has reportedly agreed to pay out close to $3 million as part of a settlement agreement with customers. As the Chicago Tribune reports, the proposed settlement would establish the multimillion-dollar pot for device owners who’d downloaded the control app, We-Connect, and used it with their toy—or up to $10,000 each. The company agreed to set aside another $750,000 for those who’d bought toys but never messed with the app, or a possible $199 each.
Under the settlement, which awaits court approval, the firm also agreed to cease collecting personal user information and email addresses from device users, and to destroy related data it’s collected to date. It further stipulates that Standard Innovation will inform users about any anonymized data collection in the future, and allow them to opt out.

In December, the We-Vibe Marketing Communication Manager Denny Alexander commented on the industry’s ongoing attempts to make sex-toy data work for everyone (including privacy advocates). During a company launch event at New York’s Museum of Sex, he told me that, beyond being needed for the We-Connect app to function, some anonymized data from users goes a long way in helping toy designers hit the mark.
“It’s a private, insular world, [mostly] without the benefit of consumer insights,” Alexander said. When it comes to data on users’ preferred settings and such, a mass-aggregated version serves “only to validate and reaffirm” what designers have previously learned from experts and testers, he added. “It gives us a general sense of users’ [vibration] intensity levels, steadiness of mode, and whether we’re marketing to the right people.”
According to the Tribune, roughly 300,000 have bought We-Vibe devices that are covered by the settlement, while closer to 100,000 downloaded and used the company’s corresponding app. Alexander reportedly called the settlement “fair and reasonable.”
