Recently, some consumers broke the news that the Midea washing machine generated more than 400 MB of traffic in just 19 hours and 40 minutes after being connected to WiFi, which sparked discussions among many netizens. Some netizens worried about whether there was a risk of personal privacy being leaked. In response, the latest response from Midea's Washing Machine Division stated, “We attach great importance to it and have completed a comprehensive technical inspection. The device only transmits 100-200KB of data for a single wash, and is only used for essential functions such as intelligent control. It does not collect or upload any user personal information, and the entire process is encrypted, which complies with national regulations.” Midea's washing machine division said, “We have taken the initiative to contact feedback users to arrange on-site inspections. Midea always puts user privacy and data security first, and is subject to supervision from all sectors of society.”
