Abstract
A system, device and method for enforcing privacy during a communication session with a voice assistant are disclosed. Periodically during the communication session with the voice assistant, sensor data is acquired. The sensor data is processed to determine a number of persons present in an environment of the voice assistant. The communication of private data by the voice assistant is enabled when one person is in the environment and that person is the authorized user. The communication of private data by the voice assistant is disabled when one person is in the environment and that person is not the authorized user. When more than one person is present in the environment of the voice assistant, the communication of private data by the voice assistant may be enabled when the environment of the voice assistant is determined to match the one or more predetermined privacy criteria for a multi-person environment.
