“Senator pushes Amazon for details about Ring “partnerships” with police”

• Amazon's Ring line of video doorbells and home surveillance equipment is particularly popular with one key group: police. More than 400 law enforcement agencies around the country have partnered with Ring to use its apps and help market its security cameras to residents in the name of safer neighborhoods. "The nature of Ring's products and its partnerships with police departments raise serious privacy and civil liberties concerns," Markey said in a letter (PDF) addressed to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

• "Although Amazon markets Ring as America’s ‘new neighborhood watch,’ the technology captures and stores video from millions of households and sweeps up footage of countless bystanders who may be unaware that they are being filmed," Markey said in a statement. "I am particularly alarmed to learn that Ring is pursuing facial-recognition technology with the potential to flag certain individuals as suspicious based on their biometric information."

• Ring said in late August it had 405 active agreements.

Page 59: Herding the Cats - MYS · Herding the Cats Managing Diverse Collections of Video Data Panel Discussion: Michael Crane; Steve Surfaro; Michael Chiocca; & Steve Surfaro

What are they worried about?• Ring claims not to share lists of users or give maps pinpointing exact locations of cameras

to police. In August, the company told Ars participating agencies "must go through the Ring team when making a video request to customers," adding, "Customers can choose to opt out or decline any request, and law enforcement agencies have no visibility into which customers have received a request and which have opted out or declined."

• Ring shared maps featuring active cameras with police in 2018.

• The company also gets access to 911 call data in some jurisdictions, which it uses to "curate" crime news for its Neighbors app. The app, while open to anyone, is optimized for Ring users, who can easily share footage from their doorbells through it. Police can also use their companion portal to send out a localized blast to Neighbors users requesting footage as part of an investigation INCORRECT!

• Late last year, the ACLU also flagged a patent application from Ring that would allow devices to ship with facial-recognition software, such as Amazon's Rekognition system. The patent would allow police or homeowners to flag certain faces as "suspicious."

Page 60: Herding the Cats - MYS · Herding the Cats Managing Diverse Collections of Video Data Panel Discussion: Michael Crane; Steve Surfaro; Michael Chiocca; & Steve Surfaro

Next Steps for these Ring Neighborhoods• Sen. Markey gave Ring until September 26 to answer questions on

information requests but also to data retention and sharing policies, as well as other privacy concerns.

• "How long has Ring prompted its users to share video footage with law enforcement?" Markey asked Ring, pushing for a "detailed timeline of when this sharing began and how, if at all, Ring has changed its policies" over time.

• The letter asks Amazon to provide a list of all law enforcement agencies that have ever had or currently have access to Ring video

• The letter asks if Ring requires police departments to delete users' footage after a certain period, if Ring requires police departments to handle footage to minimize the risk of data breaches or leaks or control of third party footage.

• List of criminal justice and civil liberties consultants Ring has consulted in its work.
