I realize you're being sarcastic but customers don't agree to it in any reasonable sense: shrinkwrap agreements are notoriously long winded and obscure and there is usually no way to opt out. iRobot knows if the product actually said "Shares your personal data" on the box it would negativity affect sales.
So yes I agree with the person above you who said regulation is the answer. If you make it impossible to share data then it's not longer a revenue stream or a competitive advantage and companies can focus their efforts on improving the product for the consumer to drive profit rather than milking the customer for data and selling it.
