Would these mean turning off Siri every week/month and then turning it back on would prevent long term storage of your voice data?

That's assuming they actually delete the data though.

If Apple "disassociates" the data, how can they delete the files when a user turns Siri off? Doesn't that imply they still know which piece of data belonged to a certain user?

1) Apple deletes associated data when the user turns Siri off.
2) Apple dis-associates data after six months.
1 & 2 = data older than six months is not deleted, bit is not directly associated with you. So that Siri search for that topic only of interest to communist homosexual terrorist Jews will not have your user ID but might still be identifiable from voice analysis.
You can't escape Macarthyism that easily.

Once the voice recording is six months old, Apple “disassociates” your user number from the clip, deleting the number from the voice file. But it keeps these disassociated files for up to 18 more months for testing and product improvement purposes.
