The compromised data includes names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and Tile device identification numbers.
Fortunately, more sensitive information such as credit card numbers, passwords, log-in credentials, location data, and government-issued identification numbers were not affected, as the Tile customer support platform did not store this information.
