Google’s Voice Search function has been storing recordings of your voice since June 2015. The company secretly records the conversations that people have around their products.
Even if you aren’t using the Google Voice, it may still be recording everything you say. Although the recordings can serve as a reminder of various situations and places that you have been in, they may contain very intimate information from any computer or Android device that you have logged in with your Google account.
