TalkSocket is only a conduit to your phone to enable the Alexa app to be used hands-free. TalkSocket is listening only for the wake-word (Alexa) and then sends the request over Bluetooth to the Alexa app on your phone. No data is stored on the TalkSocket during this process.  As voice assistants continue to improve their security and privacy options, you will reap the benefits of the upgrades when using TalkGo products.
