After Amazon's news this week,
I feel the need to share this advice from my Privacy Guides article again:
Notify guests if you are
using a smart speaker 🔇
If you are using a smart speaker device in your home such as Amazon's Echo (Alexa), Apple's HomePod (Siri), Google's Nest,
Inform your guests about it when they enter your home ⚠️
These devices have the capacity
to record all conversations, and there has already been instances of accidental privacy invasion reported about this 🔓
Even if you don't mind yourself,
offer your guests to UNPLUG your smart speaker while they are visiting you 🔌
