I'm late to the conversation, but thought I'd share my experience with Alexa...

I had a few devices dotted around my home and used them quite a lot. After reading somewhere online that you can access every command recording ever made by Alexa via your Amazon account, I went digging.

Sure enough, buried in my account was a list of every single command sent to Alexa devices I own, all dated and time stamped, along with the recordings. Two of them stood out and were the reason I immediately disabled them all and have never used one since.

On two recordings, I suspect I said something (I have a fairly strong Northern English accent) that the device heard as 'Alexa) and it began to record. In both cases, it was private telephone calls with family.

That was the end for me and this new measure from Amazon is even more disturbing. Nope.
