Xiaomi is defending itself from accusations that it’s been collecting private data from people who use its phones and web browser apps. This follows a report Thursday from Forbes that raised concerns about the Chinese phone maker’s data practices.
In a blog post Friday, Xiaomi laid out some of its data practices, saying it collects aggregated usage statistics on things like responsiveness and performance that can’t be used to identify individuals. The company also said it syncs web browsing history if people have the feature turned on in their settings.
