An American woman has launched a proposed class-action lawsuit against the Canadian-owned maker of a smartphone-enabled vibrator, alleging the company sells products that secretly collect and transmit "highly sensitive" information. It also alleges the usage data and the user's personal email address was transmitted to the company's servers in Canada. "There's been no allegation that any of our customers' data has been compromised. However, given the intimate nature of our products, the privacy and security of our customers' data is of utmost importance to our company," the company said in a statement. The company noted, however, that it had taken steps to "further enhance" its data security and privacy measures in the last few weeks.
