I'm not sure they're much better. From the SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES section of their privacy page:

We may share your personal information in the instances described below

Third parties as required to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, subpoena/court order, legal process or other government request, (ii) enforce our Terms of Use Agreement, including the investigation of potential violations thereof, (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third party claims or allegations, (iv) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Eufy, its users or the public as required or permitted by law and (v) detect, prevent or otherwise address criminal (including fraud or stalking), security or technical issues.

If we should ever file for bankruptcy or engage in a business transition such as a merger with another company, or if we purchase, sell, or reorganize all or part of our business or assets, we may disclose your information, including personally identifiable information, to prospective or actual purchasers in connection with one of these transactions.

We may also share information with others in an aggregated and anonymous form that does not reasonably identify you directly as an individual.

At least it's not owned by American company, so doesn't technically _have_ to give the government institutions whatever they ask for. It's Chinese though, and that's not much better.
