Amazon has responded after a U.S. couple had a private conversation recorded and sent to a random contact by their Echo smart speaker, saying it takes privacy “very seriously.”

As reported this week by Seattle news website Kiro7, a Portland woman identified as Danielle reached out to Amazon to complain after one of her husband’s employees called to say that he had received audio files of the pair talking inside their home. “I felt invaded," the woman told the media outlet. “A total privacy invasion. Immediately I said, 'I'm never plugging that device in again, because I can't trust it.'”
