Article doesn't mention it, but this is how you opt-out (there are others but this one has screenshots).

Added to my list for the next time I'm on the phone with my parents, for our (weekly at this point) how-to sessions on "stopping the industry I work in from spying on you". I really, really wish product managers would understand the kind of ecosystem they're building, and the kind of customer blow-back they will enable by optimizing for $$$ under the guise of "making things easier".

Side question: what problem does Amazon thinks this solves? Bad connectivity experiences for Ring users?

Edit: changed the link to a better guide linked elsewhere in the thread
