A chinese-based company #eufy (subsidiary of #anker) has been caught mishandling user privacy and not complying with GDPR[1.2] in the EU[1][2][3][4] including using a facial recognition software to build up a database of european citizens for tracking across services[1.1] and who's products are still on the market[5] and used by many european citizens[6].
@guyverhofstadt @marcel_kolaja @EDPS_supervisor Please consider taking appropriate action to stop this violation of privacy and security in the EU.
