Amazon S New Network Will Share Your Wi Fi With Neighbors Unless You Opt Out

The program, which was originally announced in 2019, goes online on June 8. The tech giant claims Sidewalk will feature “multiple layers of encryption” for added privacy and security for personal information. The company also noted that all data shared is automatically deleted every 24 hours.

Ring owners can opt out by visiting the control center in the Ring app or Ring website. Customers with an Echo device can remove the service by going to settings in the Alexa app.

The list of devices supported on Sidewalk are Echo Show; Echo (third generation and newer); Echo Dot (third generation and newer); Echo Dot for Kids (third generation and newer); Echo Dot with Clock (third generation and newer); Echo Plus; Echo Spot; Echo Studio; Echo Input; Echo Flex; Ring Floodlight Camera (2019); Ring Spotlight Cam Wired (2019); and Ring Spotlight Cam Mount (2019).

Another partner will be CareBrand, a manufacturer of wearable technology for people living with dementia.
