Apple may share personal data with service providers who act on our behalf, our partners, or others at your direction. Further, Apple does not share personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Service Providers. Apple may engage third parties to act as our service providers and perform certain tasks on our behalf, such as delivering products to customers. Apple service providers are obligated to handle personal data consistent with this Privacy Policy and according to our instructions. They cannot use the personal data we share for their own purposes and must delete or return the personal data once they've fulfilled our request. Partners. At times, Apple may partner with third parties to provide services or other offerings. For example, Apple financial offerings like Apple Card and Apple Cash are offered by Apple and our partners. Apple requires its partners to protect your personal data. Others. Apple may share personal data with others at your direction or with your consent, such as when we share information with your carrier to activate your account. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about you where there is a lawful basis for doing so, if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or to protect our operations or users, or in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale. I think you are clutching at straws, based on shoddy information. The above seems unambiguous to me.

You're right, it is pretty unambiguous: they can share with any partner they like, for any reason other than marketing with the only condition being that the partner “protects personal data”. That's it. No other limits or restrictions. So yes, partnering with a insurance company is allowed by their privacy policies. If you want to have faith that Apple will never do evil things with your data and that their is nothing to worry about, that's up to you. I have plenty of friends who thinks the same about Facebook or Google you know…

(Sorry Apple fans, it does and while their marketing tries to hide it as much as possible, their privacy policies don't lie : https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/)* You were asked for evidence and failed to provide any. You have now moved the goal posts, first by saying they’ve considered ‘selling’ health data to insurance companies, now it’s they might do it, so therefore they are. Apple aren’t perfect in any way, but what you are asserting is bullshit. To your point on Google and Facebook - it can be demonstrated that they are doing shitty things with peoples data, something you have utterly failed to do in Apples case. As the Romans said, shit or get off the pot.

    I did not move goal posts, the conversation did. If you want to go back to Apple's OS spying the users, it's another section of the privacy policy: > Usage Data. Data about your activity on and use of our offerings, such as app launches within our services, including browsing history; search history; product interaction; crash data, performance and other diagnostic data; and other usage data From “Personal Data Apple Collects from You” That being said, since you've moved from just a bit narrow-minded to openly rude, I'm not interesting in pursuing further.

      Provide the rest for context! You have been disingenuous from the outset, clearly arguing in bad faith to unsuccessfully prove your own bias. The facts are that Apple are indeed one of the more trustworthy companies with personal data, and arguably one of the few that get it. So what if it’s ‘marketing’ that drives them to do right by their users data, at least they are doing right. All you have illustrated is a potential to misuse personal data. Google and Facebook (brought up by you) actually do privacy invasive things, largely without plainly written privacy policies, or worse still, without consent.
