Kohler is facing backlash after an engineer pointed out that the companyβs new smart toilet cameras may not be as private as it wants people to believe. The discussion raises questions about Kohlerβs use of the term βend-to-end encryptionβ (E2EE) and the inherent privacy limitations of a device that films the goings-on of a toilet bowl.
In October, Kohler announced its first βhealthβ product, the Dekoda. Kohlerβs announcement described the $599 device (it also requires a subscription that starts at $7 per month) as a toilet bowl attachment that uses βoptical sensors and validated machine-learning algorithmsβ to deliver βvaluable insights into your health and wellness.β The announcement added:
Data flows to the personalized Kohler Health app, giving users continuous, private awareness of key health and wellness indicatorsβright on their phone. Features like fingerprint authentication and end-to-end encryption are designed for user privacy and security.
The average person is most likely to be familiar with E2EE through messaging apps, like Signal. Messages sent via apps with E2EE are encrypted throughout transmission. Only the messageβs sender and recipient can view the decrypted messages, which is intended to prevent third parties, including the app developer, from reading them.
