It's too late for an apology, they shot themselves in the foot by issuing a C&D because if CIQ wasn't in the public eye beforehand, it sure is now. Cue the Streisand effect, they are going to go out of business.

You can see in the YouTube video posted by the company that the CEO is basically begging people to believe that they mean no harm. Maybe they truly do believe that spying on users without any notification or any way to opt out is the right thing to do, who knows.

What I'm curious about is where HIPAA fits into all of this, because a lot of doctors are issued Android phones for work purposes. I would think that if any HIPAA protected information is sent out over a non compliant network and/or stored on non compliant servers without the consent of the patient, then it's pretty much over for CIQ, federally.
