I really doubt the recording is actually deleted from all of their servers. Wouldn't be surprised when a few years from now there is another news item about how they accidentally kept these logs in backups or how they were shared with law enforcement or ad companies.

It's ok, they have "an ongoing effort to ensure those transcripts do not remain in any of Alexa’s other storage systems."

> kept these logs in backups

Is that unreasonable?

I mean, I cannot possibly expect myself to go through my backups and delete a folder from everything, down to the multi-year incremental.

Once you start tampering with a backup, it stops being a backup.

This can be done by encrypting each backed-up item and forgetting the key for deleted items that shouldn't be restorable from backup. You still need to decide how long the keys should be kept, though.

Well then "delete past recordings here" is probably not true.
