Did you know that your Amazon Alexa could be tuning in to your conversations, even if you're not speaking to it?
And you can easily listen back to the recordings.
We constantly hear theories about how much our gadgets actually know about us, and it turns out they might know a little more than you think.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the Alexa works on 'wake words' which means it can sometimes pick up things even when you're not chatting to it. This is because it thought you said its name.
It doesn't always have to be full conversations, and could just be short soundbites, but one ex-Amazon exec told BBC's Panorama special 'Amazon: What They Know About Us' that he actually turns the gadget off whenever he "wants to have a private moment".
You can access, and listen back, to your Alexa recordings using the app. Users need to visit the setting menu, select settings and visit the 'Alexa Privacy' page. From there you can tap the text you want to hear and click the Play icon. You can also delete the recordings here.
An Amazon spokesperson previously said that they "manually review and annotate a small fraction of one per cent of Alexa requests" in order to help improve the gadget.
They add: "Access to data annotation tools is only granted to a limited number of employees who require them to improve the service, and our annotation process does not associate voice recordings with any customer identifiable information.
"Customers can opt-out of having their voice recordings included in the fraction of one per cent of voice recordings that get reviewed."
