1,2,6,7 & 8 Seem to me as potentially (if not with certainty) in conflict with EU consumer laws & therefore not binding. Outside EU, YMMV. Key phrase here: "Local law may limit these clauses".

If such terms of use were to become subject of a legal case, then in EU "reasonable user expectation" weighs heavily, and courts tend to err on protect-consumer side.

For example vendor analyzing usage patterns to optimize users' experience with the appliance, would probably be okay.

But eg. do 24/7 voice recording & share with vendor's partners to let them send targeted advertising, would absolutely not match user expectations (given intended use of these appliance features), and therefore be illegal.

3-5 & 9 Seem sort-of-expected for internet connected, AI 'enhanced' appliances.

TLDR; it's just LG attempting to cover their legal ?ss. Wouldn't help them much in court.
