   #Apple’s #privacy policy for #Siri now says Apple can retain transcripts of and related inputs to your interactions with Siri for 2 years or more. The “Delete Siri & Dictation History” button only deletes _local_ copies of your transcripts. The only way to opt out is to turn off both Siri and dictation.

   I feel like this didn’t used to be the case. I don’t recall transcripts being collected. I recall that you could delete stored data from Apple’s servers.

   Am I misremembering?
