What Is Internet of Things (IoT) Law?
The Internet of Things (IoT) area of the law relates to internet-connected devices, from smartphones to thermostats, which may collect user data and conduct analytics. In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued guidelines on best practices and recommendations for companies providing home, wearable, and other personal connected devices. The FTC has recommended industry self-regulation as well as minimal collection and retention of consumer data in relation to IoT devices. The Commission also encourages companies to offer consumers data usage options and data sharing notifications.
