Do you not use a mobile phone? An always on device that has a 4G connection and is strapped to your body?

  That device only listens after I explicitly engage with it physically. If it decides to listen passively, that's a bug. With Alexa, it's a feature.

    That you know of. It's been the topic of much discussion that it can probably be listened to at-will by some 3-letter agencies. It probably isn't, though, and there's almost certainly not a preserved history unless it's on.

    "Ok, Google" and "Ok, Siri" integration is built into all new iPhones and most new Android devices. Also in these scenarios, all of these devices (Alexa, Android, iPhone) are only locally listening for a wake word, usually using dedicated hardware to detect it. Until you say the wake word, nothing you say is being saved or sent to the network. You can verify this by monitoring your network.
