The company stated that user privacy is a core principle and that its smart TVs do not record or transmit user conversations without explicit activation. LG clarified that voice-to-text processing only begins when a user initiates a voice command, and data is not stored if the TV is disconnected from the internet. Features like Automatic Content Recognition and interest-based advertising are optional and disabled by default. AI
