The smartphones of the company Blu again began to be sold at one of the leading American retail Internet sites Amazon after freezing because of suspicions of shadowing. About this Blu Products reported in the official Twitter account, citing a link to the search results from the site of the retailer. A little later, Amazon itself confirmed the resumption of sales of devices after negotiations with Blu:.

"If we receive information that can potentially affect the environment of our users, we can temporarily make the product inaccessible to purchase. After working with the Blu Products manufacturer, we resumed sales of Blu devices on the Amazon. Com ».

Blu, of course, is not as famous in the US as Apple or Samsung, but the company has made some progress, selling inexpensive Android-devices. For example, one of the models, Advance 5. 0, available on Amazon for $ 60. However, back in November last year, The New York Times reported that Blu smartphones include third-party software that secretly collects data on users' location, their calls and SMS, and sends information to China.

Blu responded to criticism, saying that it updated the software to remove suspicions of privacy violation. But at the end of July, security specialists discovered that user tracking functions are still present in the Blu.

And after a few days, Amazon froze sales of these devices.

The company that created third-party software, Shanghai Adups Technology, noted that security issues were corrected last year. Blu also contested the claim that the software from Adups is spyware and added that it seriously takes privacy and user security issues, and all data collected by its smartphones does not affect the privacy of users in any way and is part of the standard functionality of OTA-updates.
