Apple is watching you! Study finds tech giant harvests user data from embedded apps

Apple may not be the privacy company it so proudly claims to be – a new study shows the tech giant collects data about its customers when they use its apps, even if they have turned off analytics sharing.

The discovery was made by two developers who discovered that the tech giant was recording your every move across the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Books, and Stocks.

This allows Apple to create user profiles that show how long they’ve been looking at a particular app, the stocks they’ve viewed and what ads they’ve seen, as well as identification numbers and the type of device they’re using.

It’s not clear why Apple is dropping its privacy stance, but it recently added ads to the App Store app, and collecting data can help you better understand how their ads work.

An independent study was conducted by a pair of software developers who found that Apple was recording your every move in built-in apps, including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Books, and Stocks.

The Apple Device & Privacy support page states that the collection of such information from devices requires the user’s consent.

“None of the data collected identifies you personally” page is reading.

“Personal data is either not logged at all, is subject to privacy practices such as differential privacy, or is removed from any reports prior to being sent to Apple.”

DailyMail.com has contacted Apple for comment.

Tommy Mysk and Talal Hai Bakri, the security researchers who discovered the data collection, have posted videos on Twitter showing how Apple stores information.

The video shows a screen with several timestamp requests sent to Apple from the App Store app.

Requests are made every time the user has been to the App Store app.

In one request, IDs have been edited that can identify a session and map it to a user’s data profile.

The data collection also hides the user’s device.

The example shown in the video shows a person using “iPhone 10”.

Although the crossword app may seem innocuous, Gizmodo gives a bigger reason why Apple’s data collection shouldn’t be ignored.

If you search for mental health, sexual orientation, and religion apps on the App Store, this data is sent directly to the tech giant’s servers and stored – some of it may be sensitive information for some people.

The researchers did similar testing with the Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge apps and found that when analytics sharing is disabled, the apps can’t collect data from the device.

Not only is collecting data without consent a major concern, but Apple positions itself as a company that respects the privacy of its users.

On its privacy page, the tech giant clearly states: “Privacy is a fundamental human right. It is also one of our core values. That’s why we develop our products and services to protect it. We believe in such innovations.”
