Companies behind smart baby monitors like Nanit emphasize that they do not sell or market data. Their revenue primarily comes from subscription fees for enhanced services, which also fund the expansion of tracking and health interpretation features for children.

I will say across the board, these companies emphasize that they do not sell the data, they don't market against it. That their subscription fees that they charge in addition to the hardware or the apps are how they make money.
