- What it is
- Amazon's help page on Alexa and Echo privacy. It explains what is saved from Alexa requests, how the saved data is used to improve Alexa, and how customers can review and delete it. The page describes supervised machine learning in which people review a small sample of Alexa interactions.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by Amazon as its own customer help. It is undated in the text we read, and Amazon can change it at any time. It describes defaults and the general process, not the review rate or how many people see the data.
