OK, that's pretty crazy if true.
- DenisM 17y agoI doubt the authenticity of this quote. Or maybe it was taken out of context. For one, the agreement prohibits transmission of data to third parties, not to the developer himself. Another thing is that the new agreement is part of new SDK 4.0 and it is not yet in effect - Apple does not accept 4.0 apps for app store distribution, and so could not have reject an app on these grounds. EDIT: apparently, it's the device data that I talk about above. User data is governed under "need to know" rule: "All use of User Data collected or obtained through an Application must be limited to the same purpose as necessary to provide services or functionality for such Application.". Not as clear-cut as I thought... my second point still stands though.
