Yes any smart device with a microphone does this and they keep a protocol of everything stored on the device even in offline mode so they can upload it as soon as they are connected. Even if you never connect to the internet authorities can easily extract the protocol from the device if they get their hands on it. Those are months of conversations that you don‘t even remember.

I remember either Google or Amazon explaining that the delay between the “hey” and the “ready” is the entire OS booting up. Like, there’s a separate super-low-power chip that will only respond to “hey” whilst in standby. When it detects the keyword, the rest of the device comes to life.

I’m not sure if they were telling the truth, but it’s plausible. The truth is always in the network payload.
