Here, we can be on the same page. No unverified anecdotes. Reading through this, I stand by my claim. Apple goes out of its way to say they care about your privacy, even in their privacy agreement over and over again. But the terms they list are pretty much exactly what you’ll find in any legal document from any corporation that handles your data. It’s up to them what they do with it, and they said it themselves.
