If this system kept the info locally at your place, and had sane defaults for erasing the data ( 30 days?) - with options, I'd be more comfortable with that.

If you or some grandma install a cloud system that auto sends my info to multiple third parties I would think that is worse than creepy.
I could see grubhub delivery people end up at wrong adresses, a system detecting unusual arrival at 9pm, send alert, the system pulls other data about this person, combines it. This is shared with multiple groups of people. Now humans look through it and see her going to the sex toy store earlier in the day and the abortion clinic and the (insert non-popular religious place here) - and whatever.
All it takes is one person in multiple groups to get heated about this person's lifetsyle or 'suspicious activity' to put out a pull over and find some reason to get more info, write a ticket, fine, get them to rack up other issues.
In an extreme situation you end up one of the cog wheels that started a Sandra Bland situation because a suspicions wrong address was given via GPS to a delivery driver.
Even without wrongful deaths, having people look into your life like that and make jokes about you or whatever is pretty lame.
At least when this happens with Msoft's one drive, one could say that someone agreed to the terms of lack of privacy with the corp. Not that I would buy that as 100% true in 100% of most cases, but at least then it could be argued.
