“Once children talk to their toys, that voice data is sent to Nuance, a voice analysis firm that reportedly powers Siri and Samsung’s S Voice. It also holds contracts with the US military. Both toys also accompany abysmal privacy policies that ultimately defer to Nuance’s Privacy Policy, which states that the company uses collected data to improve its products.
