Apple agreed to pay $95 million to settle a class action claiming its voice-activated Siri assistant violated users' privacy by recording conversations, according to court documents. Why it matters: The tech giant said in the preliminary settlement agreement that it "continues to deny any and all alleged wrongdoing and liability.

Apple clarified on Wednesday that it has never sold the data collected by its Siri voice assistant or used it to create marketing profiles, just days after settling a case in which it faced such accusations.

An Apple spokesperson told Tom's Guide that Siri had never been used to build marketing profiles or sell information. The spokesperson stated that "Apple settled this case to avoid additional litigation so we can move forward from concerns about third-party grading that we already addressed in 2019."
