Yes, but be careful:
> Personal information will only be shared by Apple to provide or improve our products, services and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.
This goes in contrast with most tech companies such as Amazon and Google. However, Apple does have the horrible clause:
> in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
This clause should be considered the antichrist of clauses, because it just makes the entire policy void in case of a merger. Not that I see Apple being acquired by anyone soon, but still.
- ccostes 9y agoMerger may be unlikely, but reorganization seems like a fairly low bar.

Not that I see Apple being acquired by anyone soon, but still. Google's clause: If Google is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy. I like Google's more :-).
- ProAm 9y agoDoes Apple define what 'Personal Information' is or encompasses?
- SimplyUnknown 9y agoThe EU does that for them. It's anything that can be traced to an individual. Same goes for 'handling personal information'; it's literally everything you can think of where PI comes into play.
