Frankly, the NSA wouldn't be interested. The information doesn't help spot terrorists.
They'd be far more interested in your shopping habits, which they can buy from private industry. (Or simply order them to hand it over and not talk about it.) Police do this. A few years ago there was a news story where someone was arrested for burning his own house, based on a database having shown that he bought BBQ starter fuel. That he owned a BBQ was unimportant.
And they'd be interested in your browsing habits. Your ISP is probably already handing that over. We now know that if a wife at home Googles pressure cookers, and her husband at work Googles backpacks around the same time, six armed men in three black SUVs from a joint terrorism task force
will surround their house. And that this happens a hundred times a week in America.
And they're interested when you talk to foreigners, in which case they can spy on you. But they already know who has been talking to foreigners via phone or the internet. (I'm a foreigner. You're welcome.)
And of course they've granted themselves the right to spy on people three steps out from any terrorism suspect. Anyone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who is a suspect. Which gives them a population larger than Colorado that they can spy on,
per suspect. The TSA watch list has over 21,000 names. The Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) has 400,000 names.
I highly doubt that your security system data concerns the NSA unless you become the focus of a major investigation.
