AI and Your Privacy at Home: Smart Devices, Assistants, and Data

Your smart speaker listens. Your thermostat learns your schedule. Your doorbell camera records the postman. Every device you bring home collects something — and somewhere, that data lives, travels, and might end up in hands you never imagined. This book is your plain‑spoken guide to understanding exactly what your smart home knows about you and how to keep that information yours. You will learn which data your devices genuinely need to work, where it actually goes, and how to spot the settings that turn a helpful assistant into an invisible recorder. Step by step, you will lock down your Wi‑Fi, audit your app permissions, and decide which conveniences are worth the trade‑off — without becoming a tech expert or unplugging everything. Whether you are worried about targeted ads, family safety, or simply want to feel in control again, this book gives you clear questions to ask and simple actions to take. No scare stories, no jargon: just the straight facts about the microphones, cameras, and sensors already in your home. Part of The Everyday AI Library.
