Amazon has agreed to pay $30.8 million to settle two cases brought by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) related to privacy lapses by its smart devices. In one case, the FTC alleged that Amazon didn’t take steps to protect the privacy of users of its Ring video doorbell. The company will pay $5.8 million to settle the complaint filed in federal court in Washington, DC. In another case, filed in Washington state federal court on behalf of the FTC, the Justice Department said Amazon’s Alexa-powered speakers collected information about children under the age of 13 without parental consent in violation of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Amazon will pay an additional $25 million as part of a separate deal to settle FTC accusations that children’s voice recordings captured by Alexa smart speakers were kept when they should have been deleted.
