You're welcome to read the Siri EULA, which is linked from the places where you enable Siri on your devices: https://assets.pcmag.com/media/images/421115-activate-siri.jpg?width=740 https://assets.pcmag.com/media/images/421115-activate-siri.j... The key sentence is toward the end: > By using Siri or Dictation, you agree and consent to Apple’s and its subsidiaries’ and agents’ transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of this information, including your voice input and User Data, to provide and improve Siri, Dictation, and other Apple products and services. So both the data collection and the fact that contractors may be involved are mentioned in the EULA (and have been mentioned for many years, going back to at least iOS 5: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/ios51.pdf http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/ios51.pdf). Whether people feel they've been adequately briefed on this is a separate question.

  Doesn't matter. I live in a country where GDPR applies. I should be able to opt-in or opt-out of such (without losing the functionality). On my MBP, I opt out of by disabling Siri. Which isn't the way it ought to work. How it ought to work is that I am able to opt-in allowing analysts to listen in.
