Back in 2019, we learned that Siri was inadvertently spying on many of us. It has to do with how Apple was training and improving its assistant. As you likely know, to trigger Siri, you say "Hey Siri," (these days, you can simply say "Siri") and the assistant wakes up and answers (or attempts to answer) your query or request. This is known as the "wake word." The problem is, sometimes the assistant mishears something said, and, believing it to be the wake word, turns on, resulting in those times you hear, "I'm sorry, I didn't get that" when you, in fact, never asked for Siri's help in the first place.
Apple created a situation where if your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, HomePod, iPod touch, or Apple TV thought you said "Hey Siri," there was a small chance whatever you were doing at that time would be shared with some third-party contractor somewhere in the world. Apple isn't unique here, however: Both Google and Amazon have been accused of the same, and Google is currently engaged in a similar lawsuit. Shortly after these reports, Apple made it possible to opt-out of sharing Siri recordings, and later stopped storing the recordings altogether.
