The origin company from China, OnePlus confess to spying their customers

News24xx.com -  A surprising confession emerged from OnePlus claiming to be spying on its users. The Chinese manufacturer promised not to do it again.

In recognition, OnePlus calls the collection of data made from users in the form of serial number, IMEI, MAC Address, until the name of WiFi.

The purpose of data collection is to know the behavior of users, which will then be used for the development of better features.

The problem is, OnePlus does it secretly without the user's permission. So the allegation appears that OnePlus is considered to be spying on users.

Not wanting to extend the polemic that happened, Carl Pei who became one of the founders OnePlus ensure that none of the data collected that used third parties.

In addition, in the future, OnePlus will also ask for permission to the user before the device data is requested.

"We will ask for confirmation via the wizard asking users if they want to follow our user experience program.The wizard will clearly show that the purpose of the program is to collect the usage analysis," he said, as quoted from GSM Arena on Sunday, October 15 2017.

This policy change will be made by OnePlus from late October. This means that users will be asked whether they want their device data to be requested in order to help more relevant developments meet user needs.
