Anker's Eufy Cameras Caught Uploading Content to the Cloud Without User Consent (macrumors.com)

In a world where "data is the new oil", how much do vendors receive for it? Does anyone have examples of how much data selling can impact margins?

Now, of course, these are more likely used for internal analytics (save distant scenarios of hackers or malicious actors tracking specific home owners) - where the gains are a little less palpable. I wonder how much the data collection infrastructure costs Anker in terms of servers, engineering time etc. vs. what they're getting out of it.
