Wow screw you, Anker! I've bought a bunch of their shit over the years but to hell with this - they're blatantly lying to customers and not just not putting customer photo data on the cloud (in direct contrast to advertising), they're taking facial-recognition-processed photos, IDing the owner (and others?) and keeping the data after accounts go away. This is some serious bullshit.

" The company has said that it will update the language in its marketing and push
notification settings to make clear that thumbnail-based push notifications require
that preview images be uploaded to the cloud. " so it's a feature now
