The harvested data is used to push targeted content to the consumer such as polls and advertisements,<ref name="IA-cloud" />and it is also often sold without knowledge.

Due to the nature of a majority of smart devices, the kind of data being stored is usually sensitive. Devices that are always on, for example [[Amazon Echo changes terms of voice usage|Amazon Echo]], [[Apple]] HomePods, and [[Google]] Nest models, are constantly in a state of monitoring. The corresponding apps to control the devices prompt a lot of personal information, such as email, address, location, contacts and sometimes photos.<ref name=":0" />
