Hello everyone
Thank you for your numerous contributions on the subject of data protection. The topic of security and data protection is also important to us, which is why we dealt intensively with the topic in advance during the development of TV 2.0. Although the box is based on the Android operating system, it does not use the Google Play Store or other services controlled by Google and is therefore not an openly accessible system. External software developers and Google do not have access to the Swisscom TV 2.0 platform or the data contained therein. The data protection mechanisms have been tested several times by Swisscom and also independent, external security auditors and adjusted where necessary.
Best regards

Ha ha, cool. Internet subscription from Swisscom but worry if the TV behavior could be recorded or tracked by the same provider;o)
No, it is clear that Swisscom knows what you are watching, who you are talking to, where you are and which website you are surfing.
This thread is about whether Google can find out about this or not.
As Warren said, there is already an answer to this via Swisscom’s terms and conditions and data protection declaration. In my opinion, whether that is enough or whether additional information should flow from Swisscom can and should be discussed.
@ CyberMarci What does data protection mean in general? Or to what extent can data be used to provide certain features? I am of the opinion that as long as data is collected to ensure quality and to recognize general user behavior, it makes sense. For me, however, it goes too far if a personal user profile can be created based on the collected data, which can then be sold on to Potenzell interested companies and service providers, who then advertise their products extensively in order to generate even more sales. I think this needs to be maintained and everyone should be allowed to decide for themselves how further they can control their consumption behavior. On the other hand, I also find it pleasant to get recommendations on a streaming platform that correspond to my general taste. However, the option should of course remain that I can still consume completely new offers. I think social TV applications will also be possible next at Swisscom TV 2.0, I think these are quite nice. I think content television still has its place, but I also hope that streaming offers such as. B. Netflix, Amazone Prime can also use a Swiss offer via TV 2.0.
