Formal Notice
Investigations by the CNIL in 2017 revealed that the company was collecting personal information from users (including children) via the microphone of connected toys and the applications associated with the toys. The CNIL issued a formal notice against the company for failing to adequately ensure the safety of the device that enables toys to be linked to computers, for failing to inform users properly and for failing to take adequate measures to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the data collected. Authority: CNIL - French Data Protection Autority (National Commission for Informatics and Liberties)
