Anything on someone else's servers is at risk - from malicious hackers, or carelessness. Snd any privacy policy is subject to change, or ditched if the company is sold.
Security is a balance - too much, and you have no function. Too little, and you may as well leave your door unlocked.
I have Tado heating, but don't use the geolocation function. Instead, I have an open source GPS tracker on Android that sends my location only to my own server.

It seems that the connected home isn't going away so I've invested in a 3rd gen Nest thermostat and a couple of the 2nd Protect co2 and fire alarms.
They're great and they seem to know quite a lot about when I'm home or not. Is there anything I should be doing to stop this data falling into the hands of wronguns or am I being paranoid?
