Many people report strange targeted adverts showing up after a specific conversation with someone. The general consensus is that our mobile devices and smart tech is monitoring us, which is possible as everything seems to contain a microphone now\u2026 even television remotes.<\/p>\n

Often these microphones are constantly listening for a certain keyword; \u201cOkay Google\u201d, \u201cHey Siri\u201d or \u201cAlexa\u2026.\u201d. These can be used to trigger a command but the rest of the time, they may pick up idle chatter.<\/p>\n

Luckily reputatable companies will have a way to view and delete your voice commands and other data easily within their interface.\u00a0 This can be done easily by following these steps:<\/p>\n

Amazon:<\/em> https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/myx<\/a> \u2013> Your Devices \u2013> Alexa Privacy\u00a0 \u2013> Delete All Recordings<\/p>\n

Google:<\/em> https:\/\/myactivity.google.com\/history\/<\/a> \u2013> Delete Activity By (choose timeframe)<\/p>\n

Siri:<\/em> Quit Safari on your iPhone \u2013> Settings \u2013> Safari \u2013> Clear History<\/p>\n

Always remember there is a direct corralation between connectivity and security. The more you have of one, the less you have of the other.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
