Apple (AAPL.US) on Wednesday clarified that it never sold or used data collected by its voice assistant Siri to create marketing profiles, days after settling a case in which it faced similar accusations.The iPhone maker paid $95 million last week to settle a class action lawsuit in which plaintiffs alleged that Apple frequently recorded private conversations between users and third parties, such as advertisers, when users inadvertently activated Siri.Apple denied the allegations and did not admit to the claims in the settlement, which could have awarded millions of Apple customers who own devices that support Siri, such as iPhones and Apple Watches, up to $20 per device.Apple said on Wednesday: “Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles, never used it for advertising, and never sold it to anyone for any purpose.”The company said its statement came after the settlement was interpreted by social media users and commentators as confirming the accusations.Apple said in the statement that certain features require real-time input from Apple servers, and that Siri uses only the minimum amount of data necessary to provide accurate results in those cases.Apple said: “Apple does not retain recordings of Siri interactions unless the user has explicitly opted in to help improve Siri, and even then, those recordings are used only for that purpose.” It added that it continues to develop technology to make Siri more private.Another similar lawsuit, filed on behalf of users of Google's (GOOGL.US) voice assistant, is pending in federal court in San Jose, California. The plaintiffs are represented by the same law firm that represented the Apple plaintiffs.
