Does Amazon Echo Eavesdrop on Conversations? Is our conversation a privacy disaster in the making? Should we care about what Amazon is learning about us in our homes? Short answer:No. The Amazon Echo does NOT eavesdrop on pillow talk.
Far Field Communication technology DOES pick up voice commands and connects to the voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant service called Alexa. Voice requests are processed in the cloud and the results are delivered to the device. And those voice requests are saved..
The amazon echo only records and stores the wake word and the voice command that follows. You can view the full log of voice requests and delete them if you're too suspicious.
Amazon warns users that deleting recordings may degrade their experience with voice features. So take an individual call when you decide to purge all history. You can also relieve your concern by pressing the Microphone off button on the device.
Like any other electronic device, the Amazon Echo also has its vulnerabilities. The echo responds to awakening commands and specific abilities. He also has a small attention span while waiting for your commands. Even then, it's reassuring to know that you can delete whatever you've spoken.
Do you clean up the story from time to time? Do you have any privacy fears about your little virtual companion?
