Siri’s data privacy policy as compared to Alexa, Google Home, bixy and Cortana

Do you think Apple’s data privacy policy is better than the rest of them out there? How safe do feel of potentially you/family being recorded daily with microphone around us? As long as the data is in good hands for marketing it is fine. If cyber security and attack are created by same minds, how close are we to be victims of terrors depicted in a movie I.T. by John Moore?

I was cleaning my room and must have used keyword “cleaning room”on a phone or to my roommates. Later that evening when I asked an Xyz- AI “play me some music”. AI replies with “playing music from a playlist cleaning room”. AI did a pretty good job of getting learning the context that day and came up with good results. But I think it was creepy and needs a moderation in certain situations. Eg. how social media is trying to avoid fake news, suicide videos etc.

As a policy, siri does not store user data on the server. This policy has hindered Siri’s functionality. But Apple wouldnt budge on its policy. Siri has been working around this.
