If you use Xfinity Home security services, Xfinity collects video footage from your cameras, data from motion and other sensors, and logs of when devices in your home are active.

Video footage and sensor data from inside a subscriber's home represent some of the most sensitive categories of personal information, and the policy's scope for using and sharing this data deserves careful consumer attention.
Interpretive note: The policy does not specify distinct use limitations or retention periods for home security video data, making it unclear whether such data is subject to additional controls beyond the general policy framework.
Xfinity may collect and retain video footage and sensor activity from inside your home through the Xfinity Home security system, and this data is subject to the same broad use and sharing practices described throughout the policy.

"We collect information about your home, including information about your home network, devices connected to your home network, and the use of your home security system, including video from cameras, sensor data, and activity logs.— Excerpt from Xfinity's Comcast Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Home security video and sensor data may engage the FTC Act's unfair or deceptive practices standards, state wiretap and surveillance laws, and depending on content, potentially ECPA. If health-adjacent inferences can be drawn from sensor or activity data (for example, presence or absence patterns, medical device activity), Washington's My Health MY Data Act may apply. CCPA/CPRA treats certain device and sensor data as personal information subject to consumer rights. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. Video footage from inside a consumer's home is among the most sensitive data categories in any privacy framework. The policy does not appear to specify special consent, use limitation, or retention restrictions for home security video distinct from other data categories, which may not align with consumer expectations or emerging regulatory standards for intimate surveillance data. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California CPRA covers sensor and video data as personal information. Washington state's My Health MY Data Act may apply if health inferences can be drawn. Illinois, Texas, and Washington biometric laws may be implicated if facial recognition or voice recognition is used in connection with security cameras or doorbells. Local law in some jurisdictions may impose additional restrictions on video surveillance. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Third-party vendors that process home security video or sensor data on Xfinity's behalf should be subject to strict data use limitation, security, and retention contractual obligations. Any use of home security data for advertising or analytics purposes by downstream vendors should be explicitly prohibited or disclosed. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether home security video and sensor data is subject to any additional use limitation or consent requirements beyond those applicable to other personal data categories, and whether retention periods for this data are defined and enforced. Evaluate whether the policy's general opt-out advertising mechanisms extend to home security data, and whether that is appropriate given the sensitivity of the data.
