What Could Go Wrong?
Litter Robot does not have an official privacy policy for this product and the associated app, and the default WiFi password used for the litter box makes it very easy for the device to be hacked and potentially used to spy on you. This product's privacy is very concerning, and we would strongly urge you to consider the implications of this purchase.

Litter Robot does not appear to have ever suffered a data breach. However, the lack of privacy policy for this product spells trouble, as it indicates the company is not entirely concerned with user privacy. This product is not considerate of user privacy.
