Enjoy smart sex toys without worry! ----Shenzhen Zhimo Technology Co., Ltd.

Advantages and disadvantages of smart sex toys

Smart sex toys offer interesting possibilities. For example, you can remotely get intimate with your partner, let your partner control a toy or (video) chat. However, the technical possibilities of these advanced sex toys, such as the use of mobile applications, (video) chat functions and the possibility of connecting via the Internet, also have a disadvantage. These toys are becoming increasingly attractive to cybercriminals. The digital safety of sex toys can have dire consequences. Think of a data breach (where very private information is exposed) or an attack (where toys are taken over and controlled by cybercriminals).

Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do yourself to enjoy smart sex toys worry-free.

1.things to do

Many apps with smart sex toys have a (video) chat feature, if you use this please try to remain anonymous on photos and videos. Don't just think about your face or other physical features that make you recognizable.

Try to keep the toy connected to your (mobile) device as much as possible. Note that when your toy is not connected to the mobile app, it will be publicly visible in the list of connecting bluetooth devices.

Make sure the smart toy's app is up to date and has the latest (security) updates installed.

Before buying a smart sex toy, it's wise to check for known safety issues, so check reviews and do a Google search for "sex toy name" and "safety"

Trials and installations are best done where you feel comfortable and in control of your own safety.

Only share your data with people you know and trust. Therefore, be careful when sharing code that allows another person (possibly a stranger) to control the toy.

Be aware of where you use your toys (publicly). Use in public places may pose additional risks compared to use at home.

2.what not to do

Don't just share your official name or email address, use an alias and a separate email address. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of the apps and websites with which you register or have access to your data. Pay special attention to the sections dealing with the data collected by the company and the processing of that data. Also be aware that sellers are adhering to a privacy policy, and review it regularly to check for updates.

Do not leave the device on when not in use, in which case also turn off the Bluetooth function of the device if possible.

If you are using a sex toy with a vulnerability, please refrain from using remote control related features until the vulnerability is resolved.
