Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have had people tell me that they would be having a conversation about a particular topic - not on phone-and would then start getting adverts about topic.
How secure is SIRI. Does it record, all the time, what you say ? Does Apple sell the your SIRI requests to third parties?

You are never recorded by Apple. NEVER. When you use Siri your request is sent to speech processing servers to be interpreted, and the response is then looked up by those servers and sent back to your phone. Your request and the response are saved to improve Siri's skills, but they are not associated with you; they are anonymized.
Beyond that Siri listens locally on your phone for "Hey Siri", but ignores anything else that you say.

I've heard this type of thing too. But, when I asked for proof from different people who say that.. they were unable to produce any. It's likely people repeating what they have heard without any real evidence.
Apple is focused on privacy and they don't sell your personal information. I think that if Siri were always on and recording, and transmitting the recordings to Apple, our battery life would be much shorter than it is.
Hi
I have experienced the same response when I wanted evidence. Could Google or Facebook apps on the iPhone be doing it? I agree if SIRI were transmitting your conversations all the time the battery life would be very short.
If Apple were caught selling your info it would destroy their public image.

Do you mean the way Gmail must be reading my e-mail? Recently it has been putting in context-appropriate short reply options with buttons next to them. It knows somebody is asking me if we can set up a meeting and offering me appropriate responses from which to select.
Siri isn't recording you all of the time and Apple does not sell your information.
"Siri isn't recording you all of the time".
When are you recorded and for what purposes?: Look at the Terms and Conditions to find more.
