There are always ways to abuse technology. Imagine the case where this was a rental, and the landlord or management company had a time stamped log of every time you enter or exit your apartment. Personal data can always be misused in ways that get brushed off as unlikely/absurd.

key fobs are a good point, they can be assigned to an owner, but if it’s an embedded chip then there is definite evidence of who is using it, so there’s differences

That's doable anyway with a security camera. An embedded RFID chip, however, can be read from a *large* distance, with some not-expensive equipment. (See how far it's possible to read a RFID-equipped passport, for example.)

Yet, it would be a lot simpler and more effective to track your presence and activity of your other devices, like your phone on the apartment wifi.

We need some kind of IOT bill of rights like 1: Current user can local root. 2: Always open source so users can ensure the function and data collection characteristics of the system 3: Illegal for non-residents to access data. Non-resident parties may only admin logins/updates

I love French law for this. Tenants have the right to do whatever they want with the lock, and can change it as soon as they settle.
