* Devices that are always listening have a physical OFF and ON switch that clearly indicates to the user if and when they're listening. For example, a good practice could include a physical OFF and ON switch, which breaks one of the power lines coming into the recording component, with an indicator LED powered and controlled only by the power line, that clearly indicates to the user when the devices is and isn't listening. Services/devices and API usage of such services/devices, including, for example, Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, Google Home, and others should clearly indicate when they are ON and listening and OFF and are not.
* A reasonable attempt should be made to secure devices to prevent data from falling into the wrong hands.
