Apple
would like your help improving the quality and performance of its
products and services. With your consent, there are three types of
analytics Apple may collect: iOS device analytics, iCloud analytics and
App analytics. Your iOS device can automatically collect analytics
information about your iOS device and any paired Apple Watch and send it
to Apple for analysis, but only with your explicit consent. We would
also like your help to improve our products and services by using, in a
privacy preserving manner, data from your iCloud account. You can also
assist Apple's partners and developers by providing aggregated
information about applications and services you use by turning on App
analytics.
iOS Device Analytics
iPhone
Analytics may include details about hardware and operating system
specifications, performance statistics, and data about how you use your
devices and applications. None of the collected information identifies
you personally. Personal data is either not logged at all, is subject to
privacy preserving techniques such as differential privacy, or is
removed from any reports before they’re sent to Apple. You can review
this information by going to Settings on your iOS device, tapping
Privacy, tapping Analytics and looking under Analytics Data.
If
you have consented to provide Apple with this information, and you have
Location Services turned on, the location of your devices may also be
sent to help Apple analyze performance issues (for example, the strength
or weakness of a mobile signal in a particular location). This
analytics location data may include locations such as the location of
your devices once per day, the location where a call ends or the
location of a failed in-store transaction. You may choose to turn off
Location Services for Analytics at any time. To do so, open Settings,
tap Privacy, tap Location Services, tap System Services and turn off the
iPhone Analytics switch.
You
may also choose to turn off iPhone Analytics altogether. To do so, open
Settings, tap Privacy, tap Analytics, and set “Share iPhone Analytics”
to off. If you have an Apple Watch paired with your iPhone, then set
“Share iPhone & Watch Analytics” to off.
iCloud Analytics
Analysis
of data from your iCloud account is undertaken only after the data has
undergone privacy preserving techniques such as differential privacy.
Analysis of such data will allow Apple to improve intelligent features
and services such as Siri and other similar or related services.
You
may choose to turn off iCloud Analytics at any time. To do so, you can
open Settings, tap Privacy, tap Analytics and set “Share iCloud
Analytics” to off.
App Analytics
To
help Apple’s partners and third-party developers improve their apps,
products and services designed for use with Apple products, Apple may
provide such partners or developers with a subset of analytics
information that is relevant to that partner’s or developer’s app,
product or service, as well as statistics about how you use that
partner’s or developer’s app, as long as the analytics information and
statistics are aggregated or in a form that does not personally identify
you.
You
may choose not to share crash data and statistics about how you use
apps with third-party app developers. To do so, open Settings on your
iOS device, tap Privacy, tap Analytics, and turn off Share With App
Developers. If Analytics is set to Don’t Send, sharing crash data and
statistics about how you use their apps with third-party app developers
is automatically turned off.
By
using these features, you agree and consent to Apple’s and its
subsidiaries’ and agents’ transmission, collection, maintenance,
processing and use of this information as described above
