Amazon revealed that it will store what Alexa users say to the personal assistant in the cloud starting at the end of this month.
The news was shared in a report from the website Arstechnica, which reported that Amazon had sent emails to some customers explaining the changes, which are scheduled to begin on March 28.
This means that, even if the user prefers to maintain their privacy, it will no longer be possible to prevent the voice command data exchanged with the personal assistant from being sent to the cloud, where it will be stored on the company’s servers.
This changes the current device setting, which allows users to select the “Do not save recording” option under “Alexa Privacy” in the device settings.
These changes are expected to impact all Alexa devices from Amazon’s Echo line, including the Echo Pop, Echo Dot, Echo Spot, and the Echo Show display.
According to the report, this measure seems to be related to the upcoming launch of Alexa+, a subscription service set to be launched by Jeff Bezos‘s company soon.
