This has been brought up before in a past post .
We take your personal information and privacy quite seriously and invite everyone to read the sections on user submissions in our terms of service and personally identifiable information in our privacy policy . The core section in the Privacy policy that speaks to your question is this.
Will SmartThings share any of the personal information it receives?
We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone. However, we do share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this section:
Aggregated Personal Information that’s no longer personally identifiable. We may anonymize your Personal Information so that you cannot be individually identified, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate information to our partners, who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services. However, except as described below, we never disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally, as an individual.
What is SmartThings policy concerning law enforcement agencies?
We will proactively work to protect your personal information consistent with the terms in our service documents, but obviously adhere to the law. Since every situation is unique, it is impossible to comment on our legal obligations to disclose information.
I think this is inline with other major companies in our space and takes a few steps further to help alleviate anxiety about privacy and security. We are certainly open to feedback and are sure it will continue to evolve.
