Vivint Privacy Report
Vivint collects almost every kind of personal information there is, from your race to your credit score. (Not to mention the audio, video, and environmental data its equipment records.) To its credit, the company encrypts this information. But it would be better if it stored less in the first place.
FYI: You can learn more in our Vivint Smart Security review.
