> Building a profile for advertising and whatever other nefarious purposes is not for your benefit. "Your sleep data is handled responsibly. Your coughing and snoring sound data doesn't leave the Nest Hub, only sounds events are sent to Google servers. Consistent with our commitment to privacy in the home, your sleep data is not used for ad personalization." https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9415830 https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9415830 And going further: "This also includes answering clearly if your home sensor data sent to Google is used to show you ads. And so we commit to you that for all our connected home devices and services, we will keep your video footage, audio recordings, and home environment sensor readings separate from advertising, and we won’t use this data for ad personalization. When you interact with your Assistant, we may use those interactions to inform your interests for ad personalization. For example, if you ask, “Hey Google, what’s the weather today?” we may use the text of that voice interaction (but not the audio recording itself) to show you personalized ads." https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9849262 https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9849262

That is to say, they use sound data - in processed, not raw form - to build a profile for advertising and whatever other nefarious purposes not for your benefit. That's on top of interns listening to some of the audio to ensure the service works as expected, that is to say recordings of you having sex will be passed around the office.

  OK, I think you didn't understand the whole statement or are twisting it to meet your narrative. It sounds like you have an axe to grind, so I won't really go further. For others, your answer is available at https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/10176224 https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/10176224. I suggest people read the privacy policy themselves.

    If I untangled it right it reads: “the data from the sensors don’t leave the device. Instead we extract events and interactions from this data and send back home to do whatever we wish with it.” The policy you link makes statements about “hey Google” but for me it’s still very unclear what apply to this sentence vs others it records. May be my far from perfect english understanding.
