I suspect most privacy problems come down to the apps on the users device for both platforms, but in terms of security Android is worse overall because of the abysmal rate of updates, and lack of widespread backing store encryption. That leaves a lot of Android devices open to shady apps and data loss after theft. Both platforms can always do better of course, and should learn from each other. But to pretend device security hasn't been a genuine focus for Apple is blinkered.
