Roomba maker iRobot Corp announced future plans to sell maps of users’ homes to advertisers. CEO Colin Angle said no user data will be sold without permission. No deadline set for when this will happen, but investors are itching at the possible earnings. Amazon, Apple, Google, and other smart home companies could buy maps of user profiles. Angle said they won’t share any data unless users agree beforehand. iRobots stock grew to $102 per share in June 2017 compared to only $35 in the same month last year.
