==Consumer Data==

Using harvested data, the consumer's data is used to push targeted content to the consumer such as polls, and advertisements.<ref name="IA-cloud" />

Consumer data is also often sold, and has allowed '''Automatic Content Recognition (ACR)''' to become a four billion dollar industry, projected to double in value by 2030 to 10 billion USD<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/automatic-content-recognition-market|~~title~~= ~~Automatic Content Recognition Market Size & Share Analysis~~ - ~~Growth Trends & Forecasts (2025~~ - ~~2030)~~|work= Mordor Intelligence|access-date=2025-08-12}}</ref> ~~from selling consumer~~ data ~~to advertisers.~~

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, Apple HomePods, and Google Nest models, which are always on, are constantly in a state of monitoring. And the corresponding apps to control the device prompts a lot of personal information, such as an email, address, location, contacts and sometimes photos. This puts a name and person to the data they are collecting.<ref name=":0" />

A study was done on the data collected from smart security system apps, and found that outdoor security cameras collected 50% more than data than smart home apps.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-8-27 |title=Is privacy an illusion under a security camera’s watch? |url=https://surfshark.com/research/chart/security-camera-apps-privacy |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250813002246/https://surfshark.com/research/chart/security-camera-apps-privacy |archive-date=12 Aug 2025 |access-date=2025-08-12 |website=surfshark.com}}</ref>

These lists aren't exhaustive.

The gathered data then has the possibility of being intercepted at three different points:

#The device which hosts the app

#During the data transmission of the device and cloud

#In the cloud
