no surprise. just like swiftkey recording all of your emails and texts and pass words and bank details that you type into your phone... everything you enter. all recorded and uploaded to their server.

This is why you shall not keep adding all those newly released IoT devices to your home. I wonder how things would turn out if flaws in a service, like Amazon Key service would be found.

That's utter nonsense. They would lose a lot of their revenue if they can't obtain data from spying on their users.
