Apple... Now protecting people's privacy much faster than the government... 0-60 real quick.
But on the other hand, I think they should also carefully disclose the info they collect at their OS level...
Just another case of that old CYA.
- jon-wood 5y agoOne of the first steps in setting up an iOS device is a great big screen telling you what data is collected and allowing opt-out. There’s several of them for each feature you’re setting up. There’s then another of those for each first party Apple app on the device. I’m really not sure how much clearer they could be.
- nielsbot 5y agoI think they do? Although it may be buried in several settings screens...
- judge2020 5y agoIt's definitely carefully (not prominently) disclosed, you just gotta go to this privacy page: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/

- jackson1442 5y agoWhen setting up your phone or accessing any apple apps for the first time, there's a (labeled) data collection icon at the bottom of the screen that you can touch for information about what data is collected by each app/process. For the apps, this information is also available in the App Store (just like any other app). You can also view any collected system analytics in Settings -> Privacy- > Analytics & Improvements. Seems relatively fair to me.
