LG ThinQ app has aggressive terms of service – no court access and broad AI access
A user analyzed the LG ThinQ terms of service and found several controversial points: no ability to take disputes to court, LG gets perpetual rights to everything you share, no expectation of privacy for chats, and third-party systems can analyze your device data for AI training. The terms require acceptance to use the app and prevent account deletion.
WHY IT MATTERS
This illustrates how IoT devices and smart home systems often have legal terms that differ drastically from traditional consumer electronics, and how little control users actually have over their own data when they connect devices to the internet. It also shows how aggressive terms can become when AI training is built into products.
