Not just legally.
Another question is what happens if/when they get hacked. Remember: to you, it's a locked box. You have no control over their security - or, for that matter, for the security of whoever may buy the company in the future. Much less them deciding to sell your data sometime in the future. (Remember RadioShack?)
- geon 11y agoWhy would the security matter to you? It's the owners problem...
- TheLoneWolfling 11y agoBecause there's an astounding amount of data leakage from something like this. For instance: Network snooping / spoofing / etc (even if it's on a VPN through an external router it still leaks congestion information!), temperature settings, especially versus actual temperature, power fluctuations, vibration sensors, etc, etc. I don't particularly want random people knowing - and potentially selling - information about when I sleep, when I eat, when I take a shower, when I'm not home, when I'm on vacation, etc, etc.
