When you look into legal and privacy issue mostly these big companies use the audio to just process and doesn’t take account with real identities because if there is a data related to user with ongoing listening it will eventually create a big case so mostly these companies trying to avoid these actions so we can assume yes they are listening for creating for better experince via AI processing but they are not link to data with realy identities.
