the claim

Amazon Alexa devices record conversations that occur without the wake word being spoken.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Amazon Alexa devices record conversations that occur without the wake word being spoken?

Partly. One source reports Amazon's position that devices stream recordings only after the wake word, while another describes private conversations being wrongly transmitted and accidental wake-word triggers. Neither independently settles whether Alexa records conversations without the wake word being spoken.
