  The do data mine user information, if given permission, but they anonymise it first.

  According to their privacy policy, virtually anything you send them. The only promise they make is that they don't link it in an identifiable way with third party data.

  Location traffic data. How do you think Apple Maps shows traffic flow on the most minor side streets?

    Location data used by Maps is aggressively anonymized prior to being collated.[1] By the time Apple has a "mine" of data to collate for Maps, it has no practical privacy implications and is no longer usefully described as "user data". At most you could describe it as user-derived. [1] https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/03/13/apple-maps-navigation-privacy/ https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/03/13/apple-maps-navigati...

    That traffic data is opt-in. You're asked if you want to participate when setting up a new iPhone.
