- fs2 7y agoI really doubt the recording is actually deleted from all of their servers. Wouldn't be surprised when a few years from now there is another news item about how they accidentally kept these logs in backups or how they were shared with law enforcement or ad companies.
- mysterydip 7y agoIt's ok, they have "an ongoing effort to ensure those transcripts do not remain in any of Alexa’s other storage systems."
- cremp 7y ago> kept these logs in backups Is that unreasonable? I mean, I cannot possibly expect myself to go through my backups and delete a folder from everything, down to the multi-year incremental. Once you start tampering with a backup, it stops being a backup.
- _Codemonkeyism 7y agoWell then "delete past recordings here" is probably not true.
- skybrian 7y agoThis can be done by encrypting each backed-up item and forgetting the key for deleted items that shouldn't be restorable from backup. You still need to decide how long the keys should be kept, though.
- Normal_gaussian 7y agoThis page was empty for me, I had to open the Alexa app and do it from there. It isn't clear why, as the random trash alexa misinterpreted and added to our shopping cart was in the alexa cart ok...
- foobarandgrill 7y agoThat's probably a "soft delete" and hidden. Really doubtful that it's actually deleted.
