Let's say I have a landline phone. The phone company let me choose between different call records: Either only the prefix (which is important for the costs) or full numbers. If I select full numbers, the company lets me sign a paper, that all persons in my household (potential users of the landline phone) know about the full number call records resp. I have the obligation of making them aware of the fact, that I can later see all called numbers!
That does mean for the fridge with egg detection: The company delivering such a device should have the duty of letting their customers sign a paper, that all potential egg eaters in the household know about the automatic egg ordering mechanism. And the customers responsibility is to explain the fact to the members of the household, guests etc.
