At present the integration of devices into IoT has become a necessity. However, the data generated from the different devices is generally stored by the corporates and the same is used for marketing research. what can be the possible concerns related to privacy in IoT?
As the Internet of Things becomes more widespread, consumers must demand better security and privacy protections that don’t leave them vulnerable to corporate surveillance and data breaches. But before consumers can demand change, they must be informed — which requires companies to be more transparent.
The most dangerous part of IoT is that consumers are surrendering their privacy, bit by bit, without realizing it, because they are unaware of what data is being collected and how it is being used. As mobile applications, wearables and other Wi-Fi-connected consumer products replace “dumb” devices on the market, consumers will not be able to buy products that don’t have the ability to track them. It is normal for consumers to upgrade their appliances, and it most likely does not occur to them that those new devices will also be monitoring them.
IoT devices can provide important benefits to consumers, handling tasks on a consumer’s behalf, improve efficiency, and enable consumers to control elements of their home or work environment from a distance.
While at the same time, the data collection and sharing through smart devices pose privacy and security risks.... vulnerable to expose customer data ....initially data could be free for all, later it would get access controls of what can be shared with others with an encryption or so to decode the content.
