I just asked Alexa if she's listening to everything I say. Her response "No, only when you say my name". 

I do have my privacy settings set appropriately.

My husband and son are hardware/software  engineers.  They both told me to never buy an Alexis.  My husband told me that our privacy is too important us.

All these devices that you can ask a question are creepy.

It’s also phones, tv’s etc.

@FrostyBabe1  Just don't allow yourself to be blindsided in a few years by more and more security breaches.

There is a great article online titled:

I just heard that amazon employees have chat rooms where they share amusing, funny things they have overheard.

Now that really made me laugh...LOL   Amazon workers are free to listen to anything and everything I say around Alexa.  I'm not doing anything illegal or immoral or even interesting....LOL

@chrystaltree   Here too.  Anyone listening in on what's said in my house would die of boredom.

My daughter and I asked the phone some questions like if it was spying on us and it said I can not answer that.

Nothing illegal here.  You just can't reveal Who, What, When or Where!  Can't call names or places!

Yeahhhhhh. That's not going to happen. I know exactly what I'm doing. Not sure why you thought I needed to be admonished, but hey - it's the Q boards so carry on.
