- mtmail 7y agoSpotlight by default sends queries to Apple Servers for suggestions. Personally I have that, Siri and Location Services switched off. From the Spotlight System Preferences dialog window clicking 'Search & Privacy': "In some cases, such as when you use Siri Suggestions in Spotlight, Look Up or Safari, generalised topics of interest that Siri has learned may be sent to Apple to make your searches more relevant. These topics of interest (for example, cooking or football) will help to give you more relevant search results, and we use privacy-friendly techniques to disassociate these topics of interest from you." "In addition to these topics of interest, when you perform a search, your device sends your search queries, suggestions you have selected and related usage data to Apple to process your request. This information is not associated with you. Search results that show files and content on your device will not be sent." "If you have Location Services on your device turned on, the location of your device will be sent to Apple to provide more relevant recommendations. To provide you with more relevant music and video suggestions, if your device can access music or video subscription services, then information such as the names of the subscription services and types of subscriptions may be sent to Apple.
