I don’t recall any google home device informing me that conversations may be recorded. Informing the user is the difference - not the actual recording.

I don’t recall any google home device informing me that conversations may be recorded. Informing the user is the difference - not the actual recording.
- colpabar 7y agoI'd say the bigger difference is that a phone recording is initiated by making a phone call. Aren't Google Home devices listening 24/7/365 so they can know when to respond?
- jdsully 7y agoThey are only listening locally - no data is sent until the control word is said. However I don't really mind sending the data to Google either, the trouble is with the undisclosed recording.
- davesmith1983 7y agoIt is probably buried in their T&Cs.
- jdsully 7y agoSince I only see them at friend's houses - I'm not a party to any of those contracts.
- davesmith1983 7y agoYes however it is their property and their device so there is implicit consent.
- jdsully 7y agoI could consent to it using AI to answer. But how could I consent to it recording me when I was never informed?
