Apple has the same thing[0].
A journalist requested their data from Apple, Google, and Facebook a few years ago[1],
> The zip file I eventually received from Apple was tiny, only 9 megabytes, compared to 243 MB from Google and 881 MB from Facebook. And there's not much there, because Apple says the information is primarily kept on your device, not its servers. The one sentence highlight: a list of my downloads, purchases and repairs, but not my search histories through the Siri personal assistant or the Safari browser.
Also curious how, if as you say Google is so transparent with this information, they abruptly stopped updating all of their iOS apps on December 8th, the day that Apple required them to publish the data that their apps collect[2,3].
