The section specifically responding to the rumors reads: Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles,

Apple said Wednesday its virtual personal assistant Siri protects users data privacy on their devices and does not send user information to marketers.

Apple said Wednesday that it has never sold the data collected by its Siri voice assistant or used it to create marketing profiles, just days after settling a case in which it faced such accusations.

A Siri lawsuit settlement over privacy issues has dredged up old rumors about ad targeting, but Apple says it ‘has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles.’

Apple (AAPL) said Siri user data is not being sold for marketing purposes after settling a proposed class action lawsuit accusing the voice assistant of eavesdropping on iPhone and other Apple device users.
