Conversations with Siri are stored by Apple for two years - The Ball

All interactions with the technology of voice recognition Apple’s Siri, are stored on the servers of the company for two years, but the data is separated from the user after six months.

Wired magazine published an article with some suspicions about the privacy policy of the system Siri, raised by Nicole Ozer, attorney of the American Civil Liberties Union. Apple decided to explain to the American publication how everything works, through spokeswoman Trudy Muller.

The company takes steps to ensure that the data is anonymous and ensures Trudy Muller, only collects clips voice to improve the software itself Siri. “The privacy of our customers is very important to us,” said a spokesperson for Wired.

According to the company said, every time someone interacts with Siri, the data is sent to Apple. For such a random number is generated which is now associated with the voice files, and that number is going to identify the data, rather than the user name of the account used Apple or email address of the customer.

After six months until this issue is unrelated to the files, making them completely anonymous. “Apple can keep Siri already anonymised data for up to two years,” Muller said the U.S. magazine, ensuring that the collection is saved only for the purpose of testing and improving Apple products.
