Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Gary Davis:

I wish to reiterate something that I said in my opening remarks. If the Deputy has an Apple device, the things he says to Siri are not used for any other purpose. They are only used to provide the answer to the question that he provides, and to make Siri better.

If a person opts in to sharing with us, we cannot associate the things that he or she says to Siri to anything else, and that was a point I was making to Deputy Dooley-----
