What to do

Turn off ACR in the smart TV settings and do not assume the opt-out is complete.
Consider using a network monitor or firewall rules to check or block a TV's outbound traffic if the TV is a Vizio or Samsung model.
Review whether a smart TV's viewing data tracking is acceptable before connecting it to your home network.
