“not use customers’ voice recordings for targeted advertising.”
I guess it depends on how one reads that quote. A trusting sort could read that to mean, we don't use anything we learn from voice recordings for targeted advertising.
A skeptic might read that quote and determine:
Well we generate metadata from the recording, and we then use the metedata for targeted advertising, but we don't use the actual recording for advertising.
Which makes sense, if I was to implement something like this, I wouldn't use the actual recording, I'd process the recording(which I have to do anyway to answer the request) and if I happen to save some useful for advertising data along the way, well, more $$'s for me!
Which one is true? I guess it mostly depends on how hungry Amazon is to make a buck and what they think they can get away with. As a privacy snob, I'd prefer the trusting version to be true.
