How about storing and using it to target ads?

  Again, it's country specific, but in almost all western countries totally legal as long as you consent, which you did as part of the user agreement. As I understand it, Google currently don't bother as your search history, purchase history, emails and location data all do a better job of predicting what you will buy than voice. Plus those are easier to process. But yeah, they can. Edit: I guess Amazon are more likely to be doing this with voice data from Echo as they don't have your email/location etc the way Google and Apple do. I think they're more tight lipped about what they do though. I think the USA recently tried to bring in some restrictions on tracking and compiling data (not just voice) on under 13s. But this is the internet: everyone is 18 apparently and it's honestly not possible to check or enforce on any scale.

    I think EULA needs to be banned. It should be simple and uniform across all products so people can understand.
