> Siri uses a random identifier — a long string of letters and numbers associated with a single device — to keep track of data while it’s being processed, rather than tying it to your identity through your Apple ID or phone number — a process that we believe is unique among the digital assistants in use today. For further protection, after six months, the device’s data is disassociated from the random identifier.
Interesting, I thought I had heard it widely reported that Apple was keeping hold of audio records tagged with your Apple ID for 6 months, before anonymizing. That looks like it wasn't the case, and Apple was only tagging those recordings with a device ID, presumably to associate recordings with other recordings.
