Exactly. As of now. I haven’t claimed anything else here so far. Every Android phone records significantly more and sends it "home"...

To revive this topic a bit: the situation has probably changed by now. Alexa has been analyzed, and Amazon collects all the data. So you are completely transparent. Since links are not welcomed, anyone can just Google it.

Fortunately, we are Alexa-free.

I heard this again on the news last week. Something is definitely going on at Amazon... if you don’t believe it, that’s your own fault.
