I have a very strange situation. I recently purchased an Echo Dot and was playing around with sending a message to my husband. Well my son called and said he heard my message 100 miles away. I realize this is probably due to having an Amazon Prime Household account, I see all of his devices in my Alexa App. Which I did not connect, but they were there when I signed in. My question is, is there any way to disconnect all these devices? I am willing to remove myself from his household account, but then I can't get another for 6 months, which seems absurd. If I open an account in my husbands name all my info is lost for past purchases.If anyone can figure out a fix for this, I would appreciate it.

Turn off the "Drop In" permission.

Exactly why I don’t have Alexa!

Does China employ 800,000 listeners?

Well, you asked for a solution......Don't buy one in the first place.

Unplug the Echo Dot. put it in a box. and return it to Amazon.

There was a news item recently. Turns out AMazon employees are amusing themselves by listening to Alexia's audio streams. THey pick a good one and listen in.

I really don’t want indoor cameras controllable by an outside ( trusted ? ) entity, nor do I want some to have the ability to listen to every word I say.

Wow, so many haters. There are just too many folks afraid of a technology they don't understand.
I believe you can disconnect the accounts as mentioned above. You can also deregister the device from your account (or your husband"s or son's). You can also separate your accounts as being shared Prime accounts but each of you would have to pay the annual Prime fee instead of you both being on the same account.
