Apple Siri App Privacy Violation Canadian Class Action

Notice of Civil Claim

CONSUMER LAW GROUP has filed a Canada-wide class action lawsuit – excluding Quebec – against Apple Inc. and Apple Canada. Inc. for surreptitiously recording private communications via the Siri voice-recognition intelligent assistant application and disclosing that personal information to third parties without user knowledge or consent.

Siri is a voice-recognition software preloaded by Apple on Apple-manufactured devices, including the Apple iPhone, Apple Watches, iPad tablets, HomePod smart speakers, AirPod headphones, iMac computers, and MacBook laptops (“Siri Devices”). Siri records users’ vocal prompts and responds to them based on information available on the internet.

News sources and US court proceedings recently revealed that Siri is routinely triggered by accidental activations when users neither expect nor intend it to be listening and subsequently records voice conversations that include the Siri user. An article published in The Guardian revealed that the secretly recorded communications include confidential conversations between doctors and patients, business deals, and the recordings of persons having sex.

It has also been revealed that Apple discloses these accidentally-recorded conversations to third parties – including contractors and advertisers – as part of what it identifies as a “quality improvement program”.

Apple’s practices have therefore resulted in direct, pervasive, and deeply concerning invasions of privacy engaging its liability.

In September 2025, the United States Court for the Northern District of California granted approval of a settlement agreement in a class action filed against Apple in respect of these highly invasive and unlawful practices (see Lopez v. Apple Inc., No. 4:19-cv-04577-JSW)
