Pretty misleading headline.
> Apple is updating its privacy policy for Apple Card to enable sharing more anonymized data with Goldman Sachs, its financial partner. Apple’s reasoning here is that this will make it able to do a better job of assigning credit to new customers.
>
> The data is aggregate and anonymized, and there is an opt-out.

- cameronbrown 7y ago> Pretty misleading headline. Sorry, but I disagree. If this was Facebook and not Apple, not only would the title be the same, but it'd be considered a scandal.
- aguyfromnb 7y agoThe fun part is: "Apple is updating its privacy policy for Apple Card to enable sharing more" One day it'll be even "more".
