Xiaomi tracks private browser and phone usage, defends behavior

New research claims Xiaomi is tracking sensitive information and sending it to their servers if you use the Mi browser, which is bundled with all Redmi and Mi phones. Xiaomi’s Mi Browser app sends your internet searches, including incognito mode sessions, to Xiaomi servers in Singapore and Russia. Xiaomi has denied that Mi Browser records browsing data while users are in “incognito”” mode. Xiaomi India head noted that privacy and security are their top priority and that it is fully compliant with local laws and regulations on user data privacy matters.”
