Flock is a privacy nightmare. Here are some of the many issues Flock has:
Each device records you and your vehicle at a single location, and when the data from all the locations is combined, especially over many days, your daily movements are laid bare.
A court in Washington ruled that automated license plate reader data is public record.
Cameras are set up in an insecure manner. And that's before one even considers malicious hacking that occurs daily. The only way to be safe is not to collect the data in the first place.
Data is shared with other agencies. Some of those agencies may further share or conduct searches on behalf of other agencies, as has happened in other places. The License Plate Reader Policy further reveals that Flock may disclose the data to law enforcement authorities, government officials, or even third parties:
In accordance with its Terms and Conditions, Flock Safety may access, use, preserve and/or disclose the LPR data to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or third parties, if legally required to do so or if Flock has a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a legal process, enforce the agreement between Flock and the customer, or detect, prevent or otherwise address security, privacy, fraud or technical issues.Data is shared even further afield, even to the other side of the world.
End-to-end encryption typically means not even the company has access to the unencrypted data. Flock employees have access to your data. From the License Plate Reader Policy: "To provide customer support and address system issues, Flock Safety has designated CJIS-certified engineers who are able to access CJIS data and other designated individuals who are able to access other system data (“priveledged [sic] administrators”)." Of course, this is also revealed by the cameras streams that were viewable online and Flock's ability to disclose data to government authorities and third parties as mentioned above.
As noted above, Flock sends your data overseas to train AI. Flock's Privacy Policy states:
Training Data: We may use a small fraction (less than 1%) of images captured by Flock Services, which are stripped of all metadata and identifying information, for the limited purpose of improving our products and services through machine learning (“Training Data”). Training Data is used internally to help our systems better recognize vehicles, objects, and descriptions. For example, if a new Red Ferrari is released, we may use de-identified images of that vehicle to teach our system to accurately distinguish it from other vehicles, such as a Red Lamborghini. These images are never sold or shared with third parties. To protect your privacy, Training Data is maintained separately and is never combined in a way that could render it personally identifiable.Use of Training Data is essential to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of our services." Even 0.5% of so many images is a lot.
Flock lied about a program allowing federal access to data. Flock has a whole webpage claiming they've never been hacked or had data compromised, while videos online for months reveal just how negligent Flock truly is.
Police officers have used Flock to stalk partners and exes many times, and, right over in Sandy Springs, for personal gain.
