Location, sound ... soon they will be collecting biometric data as well, "just to get room temperature, promise".

As long as it's opt-in I don't find it that creepy to be honest.

#5I looked through a few of the related questions. Is there any mention of whether or not the snippets are stored beyond the time of analysis?

"Of course not, silly! We don't listen to your conversations, we just identify the things you're listening to, of course!"

That was my reaction too. If there are conversations going on in the background, then YES! Yes... they will be recorded as a result of this. :/

If you're not in the USA or Canada, then your contract is with Facebook Ireland, which falls under EU Data Protection law. One thing this means is that Facebook is required to give you a copy of all personal data it has on you, if you ask for it.
If/When this feature is available outside the USA, then one could use it and then make a data protection request to find out if they keep it.

If it's a big wall of legalise that regular users have to click past to get at Facebook, then that's hardly "opt-in".
