While it can vary by product, IoT smart devices can contain personal information, such as your email address, home address and weekly schedule, so you must delete these to avoid giving hackers access to your network. It’s important to be completely confident that these passwords and other personal data have been deleted from your devices. You must also deactivate your IoT account on the device.
If you do choose to sell your smart home tech, you should take the following steps to reduce the risks: Fully follow the account deletion process on your device. Also fully follow the account deletion process on the app or web portal. Restart your device after you have deactivated your account to check that it was successful, as data can easily linger. See whether you can set up a new account, or whether your one is still active.
Swappa is a trading platform that facilitates sales of like-new and ‘gently used’ (eg slightly scratched) tech devices, from smartphones to tablets, wearables and now smart home products. You simply list the product you want to sell on the site for people to buy. You can filter results to see only UK sellers. It differs from eBay in that every product listed goes through a series of Swappa-staff-approved security measures aiming to maintain high standards. This includes checking the device serial number for fraudulent activity, and checks aimed at ensuring the product is in a fully functioning condition, with little more damage than a few scratches allowed for products to be listed on the site.
