If you absolutely have to have Alexa or Google Assistant in your home, heed the following advice:

DO NOT put a digital assistant in a child's room.


1. Change the Default Password on Your Wi-Fi Router
2. Set the Voice Lock
3. Decide Whether You Want to Shop By Voice
4. Understand that Privacy Rights in the US Are on the Way – but Are Not Law Yet
5. Be Smart About Where you Locate Your Devices
6. Be Aware that Smart TVs Come With Digital Assistants


Make sure to set the voice lock for just the adults in the home.

Make sure you receive follow-up emails confirming your purchases, and check your credit card statements to make sure fraudsters aren't running up charges on your account

When the TV gets old and you pass it along to a friend or take it to the dump, find out how to erase all the data.
