In it's current form (installed by default, enabled for home lens), the shopping lens doesn't adequately disclose that every search query of the home lens is sent to Amazon. Other comparable products do provide disclosures upon installation when operations that appear "local" result in data-disclosures to online services. Examples of this include VLC and Windows Media Player notices on installation regarding metadata download services. Shopping lens provides no such disclosure.
Reasonable ways to resolve this issue, in my opinion, include:
- Bug #1054776: Don't include results in the home lens.
AND
- Provide a prominent notice on first use of any lens that includes these results, with opt-out instructions.
