> And of course Apple collects information on you to help improve its products - nearly every company in existence does this. The article claims that Apple's privacy policy explicitly says that it can use that information for marketing/advertising. From the article: the company plainly states in its privacy policy that it does use private data in many ways, including... to build its own advertising network. That's actually pretty evil. Normally if I turn on "tell X about any runtime errors", I expect there to be pretty strong privacy protections in place. After all, I'm doing them a pretty big favour by donating (an admittedly tiny amount of) bandwidth and compute resources to their product improvement. The absolute least I expect is to not be shafted in return.
