It's no secret that Google controls every detail of what we do online, but it's still surprising to learn that the voice assistant Google Now from Android saves all the queries you make to it, we don't know with what intentions. Of course, it is clear that nothing we do with Google services is forgotten.
This means that the transcription of our words is saved, but also our own voice, which can be reproduced later. Fortunately, this data is stored privately, so no one should be able to access it.
If you go to the Voice and Audio Activity website you will see a history similar to mine, with many entries. Here you have an example of the data stored by Google Now of the queries you make on a daily basis:
Recordings can be deleted
We have the possibility to listen to the recordings, and to delete those we don't like Google, aware that users do not You will be happy to find this page, it includes a big notice that the data displayed there is private. However, most users do not know that their voice is stored.
The truth is that Google Now doesn't seem to be able to do much with this data, since they're just queries like "What's the weather going to be like today?" or like "Is there a lot of traffic?". But nobody likes that their voice is recorded without them knowing, and worse is the case of Google Maps, which keeps a history with all the locations we visit without notifying us. So Google Now saves all the queries you make, a very controversial decision by the search engine brand.
What do you think of this topic? Do you see normal that Google Now saves all the queries you make, or do you think that this violates your privacy?
