According to the new Privacy Policy, just like the fact that voice recording will not be a default setting in the assistant, the company will enhance user management of its audio activities through a special tab of activity and voice recording.
It is also assumed that the company will delete the recordings that have been issued and saved by mistake in cases where the activation words of the assistant are not mentioned, such as OK Google.
