What is your vibrator telling others about you? [Potentially NSFW]?

This was bound to happen, and now it has. The wonders of modern technology.

Several companies have built vibrator devices that communicate with a smartphone app, for ‘remote control’, and now it turns out that the usage statistics of these devices is being reported back to the manufacturer (and god knows who else), along with the smartphone owner’s identity, and so on.

Think of the possibilities for data theft, possible embarrassment and maybe blackmail, etc.

Would you buy an intimate device that ‘reports home to mama’ every time you use it?

What was the manufacturer thinking?
