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.

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."

Apple (AAPL) said Siri user data is not being sold for marketing purposes after settling a proposed class action lawsuit accusing the voice assistant of eavesdropping on iPhone and other Apple device users.
