None. Don't connect it to the internet. Get a PC and use the TV as a glorified monitor.
If I'm not mistaken, many smart TVs tend to take multiple screenshots per second and send it back to base with other methods if wifi or ethernet aren't available, although I gotta research a little more on that.
So even then, don't connect it to a PC, you're just waiving your privacy rights
If they are connected to wifi...they can't send anything back.
They do thru other means, ex. Using your computer as the WiFi tether
