There is a Raspberry pi version that you assemble and code yourself that runs the Google Assistant. This gives you a level of control that no other system offers. In order to do this, you also have to create a google account and link the device to it. The account will have the entire history of what you told it and its responses.
You can also code custom commands or tell it to ignore others. Since it is a Raspberry Pi, things like "open X website" or "place X order" will fail because it's a limited device. So aside from google tracking how many times you ask it to tell you a joke or sing you a song, your a lot safer than the commercial versions.

Wow this is crazy stuff. The increase in technology is such a double edged sword.
I personally will never accept these devices into my home or in my life, simply because of the shit that can happen...like this.
