04:32 AM EST, 01/09/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Apple ( AAPL ) said Wednesday that it has never used data collected by its Siri voice command platform for marketing purposes or sold such information to "anyone for any purpose" in an attempt by the iPhone and iPad maker to address privacy concerns.

The company said that Siri processes as much information as possible on a device without transmitting to external servers, minimizes information analyzed on its servers, and does not retain recordings of voice interactions.

"Privacy is a foundational part of the design process," the company said.

The company paid $95 million last week to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it regularly recorded conversations after they accidentally activated Siri and disclosed the contents to outside parties, news outlets reported.
