Mr. Ryan Meade:

I can assure the Deputy that was not the case. The device is not always listening for whatever a person says. It only listens if a person activates the assistant and there is an actual interaction with the assistant. A person gets feedback from his or her device to show that he or she is actually interacting with the assistant. There is no background listening going on or audio being transmitted to servers for that use. It would be impossible for me to say why the Deputy got that particular result. If I am right, the Deputy may have opted out of personalised advertising a few years ago, when we spoke about this before.
