Pretty sure they do transcribe locally and only send text to cloud to interpret it. So still not private, but no audio is sent (unless for special cases).

No – Apple does transmit the audio samples and interprets server-side: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210657

I'm not pretty sure. Now Siri sends voice to cloud after triggered by wake up word.
