According to a recent report, smartphone maker OnePlus is allegedly collecting users private data. The news comes in a report from security research Chris Moore.
According to a recent report by Chris Moore, OnePlus and their OxygenOS is collecting data and then tie that data in with your device.
The data they are collecting includes things like how many times you unlocks your device, what apps you use and more. This is pretty standard, although this data is usually anonymous and not tied to one specific device.
According to the report, OnePlus is transferring this information along with the devices serial number, this means that this information is no longer anonymous and could be tied to a specific individual.
