Google will listen to your conversations with assistant again

A few weeks ago, Google stopped recording conversations with Assistant. The controversy over this fact, in addition to the decision of a judge in Germany, forced the firm to stop doing this. The company will resume this activity now, although with certain changes. Since less information will be collected when these activities are to be heard.

Since it will be the users who have to give permission for this to happen. Something similar to what Apple did recently, as announced by the firm.

Policy change

From now on, Google will explicitly ask users if they want to be part of this group that gives permission for transcripts. So it helps in this way to improve the functioning of Assistant in Google Home. It is an important change, making users clearly give this permission to record.

In addition, it is confirmed that people will continue to listen to these recordings. The company will continue with the same policy in this regard as until now. But they have said that measures have been taken with the way in which workers act with the data.

Therefore, it is a major change by Google, which leaves us with a new policy on the subject of Assistant eavesdropping. A change that many expected, but that is now official. Users will have to give explicit permission in this case.
