I don't have my Television even plugged in but modern Smart TVs connect to services like Netflix and they all send data back to their home offices.

You have to give it a network connection in order for it to do that.

Not always. Depends on your router. There are a lot of back channels that people don't know about.

The are only a couple of ways your device could get a network connection without being connected:

An open WiFi network somewhere around you.

Your router is so shitty it ignores conventions and allows things to connect with broken WPS

Ethernet via HDMI.

Back channels sounds like a 300bps subcarrier on your modem. Mike Rochannel told me about those.
