Configuration and Maintenance
- Be selective about the accounts you connect to your smart speaker. A new account that is specifically created for use with your device may be the safest option.
- Check your device’s settings to enable any features that enhance your privacy.
- Monitor the recordings that your device is making and delete them routinely.
- If your device is capturing sensitive information, change the “wake” word or move it to a new location.
- Get in the habit of muting your smart speaker during meetings or phone calls.
- Turn off the voice-enabled purchasing options, or set a password for any such orders.
- Monitor your purchase emails and other notifications.
- Make sure your account passwords are strong and unique to your linked account.
- Don’t use your smart speaker to remember sensitive information like passwords or credit card numbers.
- When possible, configure your device to work with your voice only.
