Smart Speaker Recording History Audit Checklist

Years of recordings, rarely actually reviewed.

Voice assistants and smart speakers can accumulate a substantial history of recorded audio over months or years of normal use, and several major platforms have disclosed programs where a sample of recordings is reviewed by human contractors for quality and training purposes — an opt-out is often available but rarely enabled by default, and most users have never actually opened their own recording history to see how much has accumulated. This checklist walks through the specific settings worth actually checking: recording history review, automatic deletion configuration, human review opt-out, and physical mute usage.

• →Prompts actually opening and reviewing your accumulated voice recording history, which most people never do
• →Weights automatic deletion configuration and human-review opt-out as the highest-priority settings
• →Covers physical mute usage as a more reliable guarantee than software-only settings
• →Includes specific consideration for child-linked voice assistant profiles
