Apple (AAPL.US) agreed last week to pay $95 million in cash to settle a class-action lawsuit that claims its voice assistant Siri violated user privacy. Apple issued a statement clarifying that it has never sold the data collected by Siri and has never used that data to create marketing materials.

In the statement, Apple indicated that it does not retain recordings of users' interactions with Siri unless users explicitly choose to help improve Siri, and stated it will continue developing the technology to enhance Siri's confidentiality.

iPhone users initiated a class-action lawsuit in California, alleging that Apple often records their private conversations after inadvertently activating Siri and discloses those conversations to third parties such as advertisers.

According to the settlement agreement, tens of millions of Apple customers could receive up to $20 in compensation for each device supporting Siri, including iPhones, Apple Watches, and more.
