Before you buy

Security or a sales pitch?

Fear makes a poor shopping list. First, understand what you are being offered.

Assess a product against your own situation.

The claim, its evidence and what you can do.

Your rights, the exceptions and words you can use.

Connected at home

Look at the device, follow the data and decide where to draw the line.

See what devices send and how to limit their connections.

Find an approach that fits your home.

Check the essentials before you buy.
