    Somebody mentioned their Google Takeout (export of Google data) contained audio of them using the Google assistant. So Apple could technically do the same thing.

    I’m not a privacy extremist, I just want to understand how technology works and how you should be using things in order to be safe online.

      AFAIK this only happens if you agree to let Google store clips to train their speech recognition (which is optional)
