TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to private communications, and in particular, to a system, device and method for enforcing privacy during a communication session with a voice assistant.

BACKGROUND

Voice-based virtual assistants (also referred to simply as voice assistants) are software applications that use speech recognition to receive, interpret and execute audible commands (e.g., voice commands). Voice assistants may be provided by a mobile wireless communication device such as a smartphone, desktop or laptop computer, smart device (such as a smart speaker) or similar internet-of-things (IoT) device. Because of the varying environments in which voice assistants may be used, the privacy of communications can be a concern. Thus, there is a need for a method of enforcing privacy during a communication session with a voice assistant.
