Didn't Amazon tell it's customers, that Alexa constantly records locally, but only sends the words after the "Alexa" magic, including 6 seconds before and 6 seconds after it, to the servers?

- archgoon 8y agoThere is nothing in this article that disproves that; and it likely would be featuring prominently if it were more. Also, it seems quite silly for Amazon to lie about this if it could be disproved with a GDPR request. The mistake that was made here is that the wrong customer's data was sent in a GDPR request.
- zmix 8y agoYou are right. But I remember, that I had read a similar story, a week, or two, ago and the topic was, that the police found out about the killer in a murder case, by listening to Echo recordings from the kitchen. I doubt, that this would be possible, if there is no constant stream of data on Amazon's servers. That gave me the impression, that they store it all. At least for a while.
