Patented method
determination of user income
Yandex has developed and patented a way to determine the income of a user of mobile devices using its services.
Revenue is supposed to be determined by the occupation of the user, analyzing GPS data, surrounding sounds, as well as spying on third-party applications used for work (web construction management services, delivery services, web watering services, etc.), for example, the builder will give out constant noise – demolition work, carpentry and welding work.
The company can collect user data using Yandex. Taxi, Google. Maps, Yandex. Maps, Yandex. Mail, Uber, Yandex. Search, Yandex. Money, Gmail, etc.
Examples of client devices include desktop computers, laptops, netbooks, smartphones, tablets, as well as network equipment – routers, switches and gateways.
At the same time, the company’s Privacy Policy states that it can not only independently use personal information, but also transfer it to advertisers and other partners.
Also, if required by law, data may be requested by any national or international regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, central or local executive authorities, courts or other public services.
We will remind, the behavior of owners of gadgets is already watched by many corporations.
Google recently admitted that it can record voice commands and requests from Google Home users.
