Ring is implementing a new encryption standard called TAKE (Throw Away the Key Encryption) to enhance user privacy. This system ensures that while video data is sent to the cloud for smart home features, the encryption keys are deleted after use, preventing Ring from having prolonged access to footage. This move comes amid ongoing privacy concerns related to Ring's past practices, including law enforcement access to footage and features like facial recognition, though the company states TAKE will begin rolling out in September.
