I am concerned about security on an old phone that I have given away, after resetting it. Smart lock won't make any difference, as it only applies to my home location.

Please elaborate on your concerns, Are you worried that your Google Account will still be linked to that device ? .. If so, you can remove the device from your Google account prior to factory reset with this link myaccount.google.com/security-checkup and for recent device removal have a look here support.google.com/accounts/answer/… ... if none of these help then look at this for all linked devices support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7552681?hl=en – Gadget Guru Apr 19 '18 at 6:47

Thank you very much, Zillinium, for your helpful advice. I used the first link to remove the device from my Google account, although I no longer have the phone, and also removed permissions given to apps I had previously uninstalled on my present phone that I had believed to be reversed when they were uninstalled. – Googler Apr 19 '18 at 7:39
