Courtesy Standard InnovationLike other vendors of smart sex toys, the makers of We-Vibe couples' toys have recently faced concern over collection of customers' intimate data via the company's connected vibrators. Following a customer lawsuit, the Canadian start-up now must also pay the price of having users feel their privacy's been invaded. Standard Innovation, which produces the We-Vibe line of vibrators, has reportedly agreed to pay out close to $3 million as part of a settlement agreement with customers. The company agreed to set aside another $750,000 for those who'd bought toys but never messed with the app, or a possible $199 each. It further stipulates that Standard Innovation will inform users about any anonymized data collection in the future, and allow them to opt out.
