While it is true that the user can to a large extent choose which information he or she will provide (the device does not, of course, "force" the user to disclose anything), many of Google Home's essential features are based of making use of the user's personal data, and therefore without sharing it, the device cannot be utilized to its full potential. There have been also privacy concerns. Since the device always listens, there is possibility that it spies in their users' household. The listening of the device could be turned off by the button, however, or simply by telling it to stop listening.<ref>BHARTIYA, Swapnil. Amazon Echo vs. Google Home: The choice is obvious.
