Thus, Sphero gives seemingly contradictory statements regarding usage of your data for advertisement. This form of advertising includes third party data controllers, engaged in the processing of personal data in connection with advertising. At the same time, Sphero also says that they, and certain third parties operating through their Site, may engage in online behavioral advertising. Sphero says, no user data is used for advertising, such as using cookies to display banner ads. It means they might sell your personal data, if you do not fill in the form. Sphero's website has Do Not Sell My Personal Information form. Not the worst thing ever, but something to consider. What’s the worst that could go wrong? Your kid could learn how to code while the teachers in your school learn a fair amount about your kid. But, the benefits of you kid having tons of fun coding a little disco ball are something to consider. There are other coding toys out there that seem to do better on that front. Sphero does have some questionable data sharing practices that seem a bit concerning to us. Hopefully they’ll fix this soon after seeing our review. Links break, so we’ll cut them some slack. One other concern we found was the link they put on their privacy policy to learn more about parental controls doesn’t seem to work. And they say they do share data with third parties for “online behavioral advertising” using data collected from places like social media. We could find no mention of them saying they don’t sell your data, so this could mean they might, unless you opt out. While Sphero says they don’t share your “often”, they do have a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” form on their website. However, it is something to consider, as we're seeing school and educational settings become an area of growing concern for how they protect-or don't-children's data. This data may include recorded video or audio content, and text content. However, if your youngster uses Sphero Edu in school, your child's data is shared with teachers and with parents. You can probably feel pretty safe playing with your kids playing with the BOLT coding robot at home.
