According to CNET, “Amazon lets you delete those voice recordings, giving you a false sense of privacy.” The article went on to say that the company “keeps the text logs of the transcribed audio on its cloud servers, with no option for you to delete them.” CNET it added that Amazon “erases the text transcripts from Alexa’s ‘main system,’ but is working on removing them from other areas where the data can travel.”
