I'm not sure how much I'd trust Amazon on that one...

When a person using Amazon's voice assistant in Germany requested to listen to his archive of recordings, he got much more than he was expecting.
Along with receiving his own audio history captured by a home microphone, the user also gained access to 1,,700 audio files from a person he did not know.
Amazon sent the man a link that contained a stranger's recordings, allowing him to listen to another man speaking inside his home with a female companion, Reuters reported Thursday, citing a German trade magazine, c't.

To me ok, it's bad that they sent the wrong recordings, but I'd be more concerned that they are keeping recordings of stuff you say around the house. It's like we have decided to just invite surveillance into our own homes, and who knows who really has access to them. No thank you.

Now, would I trust buying a Nest over a Hikvision? Sure, absolutely.

Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I think these considerations are important when looking at what devices you get.
