Alexa and Google Home are not your only choices when it comes to Voice Assistants. Mycroft is a promising project that hopes to provide all the same features but with more privacy. It's still just getting started, but it's off to a good start.
If you want to test it out you can build one yourself out of a raspberry pi.

The steps for building your Picroft can be found here:
