Your smart home might be cozy… but it might also be oversharing. 😬
In Day 6 of my 30-Day Security Challenge, we’re doing a Smart Home Permission Audit – finding out which apps, devices, and assistants are quietly collecting more data than you realize, and tightening your privacy settings to stop it.
You’ll learn how to:
- Check which apps can access your mic, camera, and location
- Remove unused Alexa “skills” and linked accounts
- Delete voice recordings from Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant
- Disable smart TV tracking and cloud backups
- Keep Matter & Thread devices from oversharing data
