Have you checked the terms of use?
Your question implies that you think there's something specific in those terms of service that's problematic. Care to share?
OP already told you, they datamine your stuff.
What specific part of the terms of service cover datamining? OP said "If you are fine with being datamined by software and device you paid for, more power to you champ!", which is just a vague generic claim. If you're going to say that the Terms of Service allows for it please actually quote the bit that does so. Otherwise this is just wild fearmongering.
Lol how about you go look for it yourself, since you're the one who's gonna be using it. We're trying to do you a favor by warning you, if you don't care that's fine, but we're not going to handhold you through it.
You brought it up. You either had some specific reason to think it was relevant or you're just fearmongering.
Refusing to explain that reason hints pretty strongly at the latter.
