Doesn't mention what circumstances it's tracking your watching habits. If you're watching an obscure movie on DVD, is it still looking at frames? Does it have to be through a streaming service being run on the TV? Does it recognize content being run on modern game consoles? Not a very informative article.

My TV must be very disappointed in me
That’s why i don’t connect mine to the internet and I black hole suspicious traffic
Mine doesn't
care to share?
Mine's a crt with an hdmi converter. I'm untouchable
Most likely offline or firewalled to Hades.
fair.
genuine question: is it still considered 'smart' if its fully offline? what can it do that a 'normal' tv cant? can it connect to a local media server or something?
Play media from USB or local Plex yes.
Display IP cameras
Really expensive alarm clock
