Actually you can monitor the packets coming through your network and prove whether it is recording or not.

Also reverse-engineering the Alexa, and taking it apart will allow you to see whether there is enough storage space for lengthy conversations. Which are only stored for in-transit post the wake-word however.

You can delete your recordings on amazon.com and google also allows you to delete your recordings if you use google home. So this will give you insight into what recordings they do have.

Well the culmination of both datasets will allow you to decipher if what they tell you is what you sent.
