  • How to turn on Siri on macOS without sending your Contacts to Apple

    lotsacaffeinelotsacaffeine
    I’m not sure I understand all the fuss. Siri sends contact names to Apple to process requests, at the time of the request. It doesn’t upload your contacts en mass when you toggle Siri on…

    Excerpt from Apple’s privacy statement:
    When you use Siri and Dictation, your device may send contextual data to Apple, including from third-party apps you allow to integrate with Use with Siri Requests, such as:
    • Contact names, nicknames, and relationships (for example, “my dad”), if you set them up in your contacts
    • Form of address, if set in language and region settings
    • Music and podcasts you enjoy
    • Names of your and your Family Sharing members’ devices
    • Names of accessories, homes, scenes, shared home members in the Home app, and Apple TV user profiles
    • Labels for items, such as people names in Photos, Alarm names, and names of Reminders lists
    • Names of apps installed on your device and shortcuts you added through Siri
