Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices for privacy protection and user data obfuscation are disclosed. A speech-controlled device captures audio including a spoken command, and sends audio data corresponding thereto to a server(s). The server(s)determines a user that spoke the command. The server(s) also determines, based on a profile of the user, user data (e.g., age, geographic location, etc.). The server(s) determines user group data encompassing the user data (e.g., including an age range encompassing the user's age, a geographic area encompassing the user geographic location, etc.). The server(s) determines a remote device(s) storing or having access to content responsive to the spoken command. The server(s) sends the user group data to the remote device(s), receives output content responsive to the spoken command and tailored to the user group data from the remote device(s), and causes the speech-controlled device to emit the output content.
