>voice recordings and data were treated as essentially radioactive waste, deleted as soon as legally possible

Is this what is done with the "Audio was not intended for this device" entries in the Review Alexa History section of the Alexa app?



Yes -- when audio is clearly not intended for the device, there's no point in keeping it around longer than necessary for anyone concerned. Amazon had (and likely still has) less than zero interest in mining that data for any purpose, because obviously people would trust Amazon less, and trust is very hard to regain.
