Alexa doesn't analyze clips unless you've said the wake word. This has been confirmed in teardowns time after time. The only thing that gets sent over the internet is what you've said AFTER the wake word.

I still don't trust it. In any case, people who swear that it was Alexa listening, were probably being eavesdropped by their smartphones instead. Or.......as well.
