Digital assistants, such as Alexa and Google Assistant, include privacy settings that prevent Amazon and Google from listening to conversations. Here’s how to adjust the settings.
Amazon Alexa
Step 1: Delete your voice history. This is necessary to keep your past conversations private.
Step 2: Prohibit your data from being used by Amazon to improve Alexa. This is necessary to prevent future conversations from being examined. As mentioned in a recent news story, Amazon has been hiring thousands to listen to a random number of conversations on smart speaker devices for research and product development purposes. But, you can avoid this by following these steps.
Google Assistant
Step 1: Prohibit Google from accessing your Voice and Audio activity
Step 2: Delete your voice and audio activity
