The study comes just a little over a year since Apple released its controversial privacy control that required iPhone users to give permission for apps to track their activity for advertising purposes, which dug into revenues of many companies and developers that relied on advertising. The data collection also includes ID numbers and the type of device used, which is enough for device fingerprinting.
These apps were found to send Apple requests that include what apps a user looked at, including those relating to sexual preference and religion, the stocks they are watching and what advertisements they saw. The discovery was made by two developers who found the tech giant is recording your every move in their own pre-installed App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Books and Stocks apps. Apple may not be the pro-privacy company it so proudly proclaims to be.Ī new study finds the tech giant is collecting data on its customers while they use its apps, even when they have turned off analytics sharing.
