Amazon keeps conversations with alexa indefinitely

There have been rumors for weeks about the fact that Amazon stores your conversations with Alexa. It was mentioned that the company kept this information indefinitely. It seems that this is so, that they are kept on the server indefinitely, since it is only the user who has the possibility of deleting them. They can only be removed manually, they say from the company.

Amazon retains conversations with Alexa indefinitely

As it has been known, it is when the user deletes a voice file that the company deletes the associated transcripts of it as well. So it must be the user who does it.

Privacy in doubt

As Amazon has said, certain requests are not removed. So if an order has been placed on Amazon, or a pizza or a taxi has been ordered, this will be kept in that register. Neither those such as regularly programming an alarm or adding an event to the calendar, which we have asked Alexa, will be removed from it. Although there would be a reason.

Since as the company says, these records are used to improve your assistant. So they cannot or do not want to remove them. Although there are certain specific records, such as those mentioned above, those that are not deleted.

These statements do not end up appealing to all Alexa users. Many feel that their privacy is not really protected in this way. Although at any time there is the possibility of deleting conversations manually. So you can try to eliminate as much as possible in this regard.
