亚马逊的Alexa会记录你对她说的话。这一点大家都知道，事实上，当你同意服务条款的时候，也就同意了。Echo使用其录音来帮助它更好地识别您的个人语音模式。
亚马逊(Amazon)声称不会将这些信息用于营销目的，但许多用户对此表示怀疑——尤其是在去年Facebook数据惨败之后。(Facebook)
好消息是您不必以隐私的名义扔掉您的Alexa。您可以删除您的Alexa
信息。
如何删除您的回声历史
您可以进入Alexa应用程序并查看之前对硬件的请求，但很难知道还听到和记录了什么。
Echo始终处于开启状态，当法官要求(Echo)亚马逊(Amazon)交出Echo录音以帮助进行刑事诉讼时，这一点已被证明不止一次。如果不出意外，这清楚地表明Echo听到的比你想象的要多。
有一些选项可以阻止Echo
一直收听，但这些选项需要拔下设备或购买外围配件。同时，如果你想清除它的历史，这里是如何。
1.在您的手机上
打开亚马逊 Alexa应用程序。(Amazon Alexa)
2. 按左上角的菜单(Menu )按钮并转到设置(Settings)。
3. 从设置中，选择Alexa 帐户(Alexa Account )，然后选择历史记录(History)。
4. 选择要删除的录音。
如果你感到那种小小的恐惧感正在蔓延，那你是对的：要删除所有内容，你有很多工作要做。但是，有一种方法可以一次删除所有内容。
1. 从亚马逊网站转到您的亚马逊设备页面(Amazon Device page)。
2.从导航栏中选择设备。(Devices )
3. 按您要选择的设备左侧的菜单按钮。
4. 按删除录音(Delete Voice Recordings)。这将清除该设备上的所有录音。请记住(Remember)，这是一个永久的决定；如果您稍后改变主意，则无法撤消删除。
删除此信息会将其从您的设备中清除，但无法知道亚马逊(Amazon)是否在其服务器上保留了录音。如果您担心个人隐私并想采取任何措施来保护您的数据，那么删除您的亚马逊(Amazon)录音是一个好的开始。
您可以在同一页面上执行的另一个步骤是单击Alexa Privacy。
继续并单击查看语音历史记录(Review Voice History)，然后从下拉列表中选择所有历史记录。(History)您现在将在此处查看所有设备的所有命令历史记录。单击(Click) 删除所有历史记录的所有录音(Delete All Recordings for All History)以删除您的所有语音历史记录。
您还可以删除 Google 收集的个人活动(delete personal activity collected by Google)并删除您在 Netflix 上的观看历史记录。
如果您想限制您的设备收集多少关于您的个人信息，请注意您的应用程序。智能手机应用程序应该只收集运行所需的信息，仅此而已。
如果您觉得您的某个应用收集的数据超出了它的需要，请寻找替代方案或限制它使用的数据。
How to Delete Your Alexa Information
Amazon’s Alexa keeрs records of what you say to her. Everyone knows this, and in fact, agrees to it when you agree to the terms of service. The Echo uses itѕ recordings to help it better recognize your individual speech рatterns.
Amazon claims not to use the information for marketing purposes, but many users are skeptical—especially after the Facebook data fiasco last year.
The good news is that you don’t have to
throw out your Alexa in the name of privacy. You can delete your Alexa
information.
How to Delete Your Echo History
You can go into the Alexa app and look at previous requests to the hardware, but it can be hard to know what else is heard and recorded.
The Echo is always on, and this has been proven more than once when judges demanded Amazon turn over Echo recordings to help in criminal proceedings. If nothing else, that makes it clear the Echo hears more than you think.
There are options for stopping the Echo
from listening all the time, but those require unplugging the device or
purchasing a peripheral accessory. In the mean time, if you want to clear out
its history, here’s how.
1. Open the Amazon Alexa app on your phone.
2. Press the Menu button in the top-left corner and go to Settings.
3. From Settings, choose Alexa Account and then History.
4. Select the recording you want to delete.
If you feel that little sense of dread
creeping up, you’re right: to delete everything, you have a lot of tapping to
do. However, there is a way to delete everything all at one time.
1. Go to your Amazon Device page from Amazon’s website.
2. Choose Devices from the navigation bar.
3. Press the menu button to the left of the
device you want to select.
4. Press Delete Voice Recordings. This will clear all recordings on that device. Remember, this is a permanent decision; you can’t undo the deletion if you change your mind later.
Deleting this information clears it from your device, but there’s no way to know if Amazon keeps a recording on their servers or not. If you’re concerned about personal privacy and want to take whatever steps you can to protect your data, deleting your Amazon recordings is a good start.
Another step you can take on the same page is to click on Alexa Privacy.
Go ahead and click on Review Voice History and then choose All History from the drop down. You’ll now see all your command history from all your devices here. Click Delete All Recordings for All History to delete all of your voice history.
You can also delete personal activity collected by Google and delete your viewing history on Netflix.
If you want to limit how much personal information your devices gather about you, pay attention to your apps. Smartphone apps should only gather the necessary information to function and nothing more.
If you feel like one of your apps is gathering more than it needs to, find an alternative or limit the data it uses.
