Alexa Privacy: How Does Alexa Work?

How exactly does Alexa work? When is Alexa listening, and how do I know? Amazon designs Alexa and Echo devices with multiple layers of privacy protection. We’re committed to being transparent about how Alexa works so that you can make informed decisions about your privacy. This video introduces a few of the ways that Alexa and Echo devices are built to protect your privacy—from the wake word, physical controls over the microphones and camera, and easy access to your voice request history. Our goal is not only for Alexa to make your life easier, better, and more enjoyable, but for you to have confidence and peace of mind along the way.

You don’t really believe Alexa isn’t storing and transmitting your info, do you? You’ll believe ANYTHING.

Drying dishes that are not wet is somehow suspicious.

This does not explain how Alexa works it's just a sales ad.

[jacksonswisher]

That’s such a lie. I talked about dog toys for 30 minutes without saying alexa and every ad I’ve seen sense then has been about dog toys

When you press the button, the device does not talk or answer to "Alexa" but i assure you that in the background everything runs just as usual. 😮 By the way, that bowl was really wet.😂

You have NO privacy with Alexa or the phones of today.

[roggersaranda]

Why is the lady wiping the same dish all the time?
