3 Using Digital Assistants
Digital assistants are useful and convenient, but they’re still a privacy concern. However, that depends on the exact digital assistant you use and how much you trust them to safeguard your data. But in at least some cases, they won’t.
- Samsung may transfer data to third-parties for some speech-to-text conversions. And, of course, it may share that data with business partners.
- Amazon’s Alexa records every interaction you have with her.
- Luckily for Apple users, Siri requests are arguably the safest bet on the privacy spectrum.
