LG Electronics is a South Korean tech giant in home appliances, TVs and car solutions, part of LG Corp. It leads OLED, webOS, and ThinQ ecosystems with 128 global ops.
Independent analyses show LG smart TVs may collect device data and audio, even when off or on standby, prompting calls for updates to privacy settings and firmware. LG says data collection occurs only with voice features enabled and local processing is used, but researchers warn about broader implications for home networks and advertising.
