'"Plaintiff Zak never provided his consent to Bose to monitor, collect, and transmit his Media Information. '
'Court documents [PDF] state Zak bought himself a pair of $350 (£275) Bose QuietComfort 15 wireless headphones in March, and downloaded the Bose Connect smartphone app that allows the user to control their fancy cans from their mobe. '
'Nor did Plaintiff ever provide his consent to Bose to disclose his Media Information to any third party, let alone data miner Segment.io," the lawsuit reads. '
'As is usual with such policies, simply downloading and running the app is taken as a sign-off on these policies. '
'Zak isn't sure what happens to the gobbled-up information, although argues it is "valuable" to Bose. '
