      Hi Jhoanna! First thing is make sure your home Wi-Fi network is secure by using strong, unique passwords for both your network and your devices. Enable encryption (such as WPA2) and consider setting up a separate guest network for your smart devices to isolate them from your primary network. 😁

        Privacy with smart home devices is something I take seriously. I make sure to regularly update my device firmware and use strong, unique passwords for each device. Also, I review the privacy settings and permissions regularly to control what data is being collected and shared. It's all about staying informed and proactive to keep my personal information safe in this digital age.

          I always change default usernames and passwords on all smart devices to unique and strong credentials. This helps me prevent unauthorized access. Whenever possible, enable 2FA on accounts associated with smart devices. This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts

            Keep your secrets safe with privacy settings!
            Review and tweak your device permissions like a digital detective to ensure only trusted users get a peek.
