Today’s story is about Philips Hue by Signify. They will soon start forcing accounts on all users and upload user data to their cloud. For now, Signify says you’ll still be able to control your Hue lights locally as you’re currently used to, but we don’t know if this may change in the future. The privacy policy allows them to store the data and share it with partners.

Hue can go fuck yourself, Phillip
Signify actually
Isn't that just a Philips subsidiary?
Philips Lighting is a separate company since 2016. In 2017 Philips owned 41% of Philips Lighting, but since September of 2019 Philips no longer owns any shares of Philips Lighting / Signify.
TIL. Thanks! Weird that the app is still called "Phillips Hue" though. Probably a matter of time.
