Don't forget they're also monitoring people who interact with you (a.k.a. the user of services).
When I walk into a friends home who has an Alexa, or a Ring system, it is now tracking me too.
The purchaser consented, but I never consented to being monitored in a residence/dwelling where I would otherwise have the reasonable expectation of privacy!
There was a good Gizmodo article about this called The House That Spied on Me [1].
Do you have expectations of privacy on someone else’s private property? Seems fair to assume surveillance in retail establishments or banks. The only exception I can think of is rented private property (hotel rooms, airbnb’s).
You do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy when in someone else's private property. That's also why you can be videoed by security cameras in stores, hotels, casinos, etc.
