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.

Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles, never made it available for advertising, and never sold it to anyone for any purpose.'

Apple said Wednesday its virtual personal assistant Siri protects users data privacy on their devices and does not send user information to marketers.
