If you only need to send data once per week, and that data is less than 2K, simply encrypt it, make it part of a URL that you control, then tell the default browser to open that URL. Nearly everybody has configured Little Snitch so that the

"So they asked, ‘Why can’t we just make a little seam for the radio waves to escape through?’ And you have to explain to them why you just can’t." Well, the iPhone 6 and especially the iPhone 7 do exactly this, so apparently you c
