> I allow Apple to use Siri requests for improving it. It is because they do this as respectfully as possible without deceiving the user. Let's not forget that despite Apple's otherwise good privacy record, Siri was saving your recordings to be listened to and reviewed by 3rd party contractors without giving you any opportunity to opt out. It was only late last year after their competitors were called out for the same issues that Apple provided an opt-out option. And given how proactive they were with privacy warnings about donating voicemail transcriptions to improve voicemail accuracy, it was pretty reasonable to think "Surely if they were saving the Siri input recordings and letting people listen to them, they would have warned me about that and asked me if it's OK." https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/28/ios-13point2-has-new-siri-privacy-settings-including-deletion-and-opt-out.html https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/28/ios-13point2-has-new-siri-pr... It's possible they still had better privacy protections in place for handling the recordings once they have them on their servers(compared to Amazon and others), but even the contents of voice recordings can be enough to de-anonymize them depending on what you've said.
