Apple updates Siri privacy position following a 95 million dollar class action settlement.

(Reuters)- Apple reaffirmed on Wednesday that it has never sold or utilized data acquired by its Siri voice assistant to develop marketing profiles, just days after resolving a case in which it was accused of doing so.

The iPhone maker paid $95 million last week to resolve a class action lawsuit in which plaintiffs claimed it habitually recorded their private talks when they accidentally engaged Siri, and then divulged these chats to third parties such as advertising.

Voice assistants generally respond to “hot words” like “Hey, Siri.”

The corporation contested such accusations and did not concede to them in its settlement last week, in which tens of millions of Apple users might earn up to $20 per Siri-enabled gadget, such as iPhones.

“Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles, never made it available for advertising, and never sold it to anyone for any purpose,” the company clarified on Wednesday.

Apple published the statement after social media users and analysts took the settlement as proof that the claims were accurate.

According to the Cupertino, California-based corporation, many functionalities require real-time input from Apple servers, and Siri only utilizes as little data as possible to produce an accurate response.

“Apple does not retain audio recordings of Siri interactions unless users explicitly opt in to help improve Siri, and even then, the recordings are used solely for that purpose,” Apple stated, adding that the company will continue to develop technologies to make Siri even more private.

Countries discussing a worldwide deal to reduce plastic pollution failed to achieve an agreement on Monday.

A similar case on behalf of Google’s (GOOGL.O) Voice Assistant customers is now underway in a federal court in San Jose, California. The plaintiffs are represented by the same law firms who handled the Apple lawsuit.
