Maybe I read this wrong - but I DON'T have my smart tv plugged into via ethernet nor attached to WiFi to my internet. I do this for privacy.

I use a firestick and an android ONN tv box on my TVs. They are registered in aliases and not attached to me as much as I can. But the question is - if the firestick or Android tv box is plugged into my smart tv with an HDMI cable into the "HDMI Arc" port - is this a data connection to the internet for the TV? Specifically is Samsung and LG (my current TV manufacturers) getting data from my watch habits from my TV?

I know it is for advanced data connections - presumably for audio?

Thanks
