Siri and Dictation On IOS Iphone X

When you use Ask

Siri and Dictation the things you say and dictate will be recorded and sent to Apple to process your requests. Your device will also send Apple other information, such as your name and nickname; the names, nicknames, and relationship with you (e.g., “my dad”) of your contacts, music you enjoy, HomeKit-enabled devices in your home (e.g., “living room lights”), the names of your photo albums, the names of Apps installed on your device (collectively, your “User Data”). All of this data is used to help Ask Siri and Dictation on your iOS device and any paired Apple Watch understand you better and recognize what you say. It is not linked to other data that Apple may have from your use of other Apple services.

If you have Location Services turned on, the location of your device at the time you make a request will also be sent to Apple to help Ask Siri and Dictation improve the accuracy of its response to your requests. You may choose to turn off Location Services for Ask Siri. To do so, open Settings on your iOS device, tap Privacy, tap Location Services, tap Siri & Dictation and select “Never”.

If you choose to allow third party Apps to integrate with Ask Siri, some data from these Apps may be sent to Apple to help Ask Siri understand your request, and portions of your request will be shared with the App to help provide a response or take an action (e.g., make a reservation at a restaurant or book a ride).  If you choose to allow Apps to use Ask Siri for transcription, the voice data to be transcribed may be sent to Apple.  You may control which Apps can integrate with Ask Siri at any time under Siri Settings.

You may choose to turn off Ask Siri or Dictation at any time. To turn off Ask Siri, open Settings on your iOS device, tap Siri & Search, and slide the Listen for “Hey Siri” and Press Home for Siri switches to “off”. To turn off Dictation, open Settings, tap General, tap Keyboard, and slide the Enable Dictation switch to “off”.  If you turn off both Ask Siri and Dictation, Apple will delete your User Data, as well as your recent voice input data. Older voice input data that has been disassociated from you may be retained for a period of time to generally improve Ask Siri, Dictation and dictation functionality in other Apple products and services. This voice input data may include audio files and transcripts of what you said, related diagnostic data, such as hardware and operating system specifications and performance statistics, and the approximate location of your device at the time the request was made.

You can also restrict the ability to use Siri & Dictation altogether under the Restrictions Setting.

By using Ask Siri or Dictation, you agree and consent to Apple’s and its subsidiaries’ and agents’ transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of this information, including your voice input, User Data, and other data that may be sent to Apple by Apps that integrate with Siri, to provide and improve Siri, Dictation, and dictation functionality in other Apple products and services.

We are obligated to provide some non-personal information about your use of Apple Music to strategic partners associated with this service, such as the record labels, so that they can measure the performance of their creative work, meet royalty and accounting requirements, and improve their products and services. We also provide aggregated non-personal statistics about listening activity and user demographics, such as age and gender, to artists so that they may better understand their audiences. Additionally, we may make available certain personal information, like your phone carrier, to partners that work with Apple to provide our products and services, or that help Apple market to customers.

iOS apps may request access to Apple Music and your Media Library.  If you give such permission to an app, it can access information like your media library on device, whether you are an Apple Music subscriber, your music and video play activity, and your For You recommendations. A permitted app can also modify data associated with your account, such as which songs are in your library and playlists.  You can disable an app’s access on your iOS device in Settings > Privacy > Media & Apple Music.  If you have removed the app or granted an app access using a version of iOS prior to iOS 11, you can disable its access in your iTunes account settings.

About Apple Music and Privacy Iphone X

About Apple Music and Privacy

  

Protecting the privacy and security of your information is a priority for everyone at Apple. We work hard to collect only the data we need to make your experience better, and when we do collect data we believe it's important for you to know what we’re collecting and why we need it, so you can make informed choices. Apple Music, like every Apple product, is designed with these principles in mind.

Apple collects information about how you use Apple Music in order to tailor features to your musical tastes. These features include For You — where you see albums and playlists picked for you, Radio — which plays selections from your favorite artists and genres, and Connect — which can recommend new artists to follow or posts you'll find interesting. We also use this information so that we can contact you about upcoming releases, new artists and other happenings on Apple Music that you may like.

If you want to connect or share with other people using Apple Music, you can create a personal profile by providing a user handle (i.e., @johnappleseed), display name and, if desired, a profile photo, and other information. Apple stores this information with your account so that you can access it from any of your devices. Your user handle, display name, and profile photo can appear alongside any content you post and activity that you share on Apple Music.Sharing and posting content are not currently intended for or available to Apple IDs for children.

Other people may also be able to find your Apple Music profile using the information that you've provided. 

You can make the contents of your profile, like listening activity and playlists, available only to those you choose. However, your profile information, such as handle, display name, photo, your followers, and who you are following, are always visible to everyone.

When you create a profile on Apple Music, we will recommend other people with whom you may connect. The phone numbers and email addresses of contacts in your address book are sent to Apple to determine if your contacts are Apple Music subscribers. Apple does not store any information from your address book.  If you do not wish to be found by others based on information they have about you in their address books, you can change this in Account Settings by disabling “Allow Friends to Find You.”

You can also find more people to connect with on Apple Music, and be found by others, by connecting your accounts from social networks, such as Facebook or Instagram. When you do this, Apple Music will link your Apple Music account to your social network account and find friends on that social network who are also Apple Music subscribers. We do not retain any information about friends who are not Apple Music subscribers. If you later want to disconnect these social networks from your Apple Music account, you can do so in the settings for those connected social networks.

Information that you provide in your profile may be updated or removed by you at any time. Whenever you share online, you should think carefully about what you are making public. When you share from Apple Music to other websites or social networks, anything you share is governed by the privacy policies of those other services. 

If your phone carrier offers Apple Music memberships, Apple may check your phone number to determine if you joined through a carrier partner. If you signed up through your carrier, your phone number is used to identify your account. We will use the phone number associated with your membership only to verify your account at sign in and to connect your Apple Music activity with your account. 

iCloud Music Library, which is a benefit of your Apple Music membership, allows you to have access to the songs and playlists in your library from any of your devices. This feature sends information from your music library to Apple, such as song and artist names, in order to identify and unlock copies of any of your songs that are also available in Apple Music. Any songs that can’t be found in Apple Music are uploaded to your personal iCloud Music Library, so that you can have access to your complete collection from any of your devices. You can turn off iCloud Music Library in Settings on your device or in iTunes.

When you use Apple Music, we collect information about the songs and videos you play or add to your music library or playlists, and the content you love, comment or share. Information, such as the account, device, and IP address that you used to play music, where in Apple Music you were when you played it, the time you played it and for how long, is noted by and sent to Apple. We use this information to customize your Apple Music experience and to help us understand how Apple Music is being used so we may improve it. For example, this information can help us pick the music, videos and artist posts that we show you in For You, Radio, and Connect. It also allows us to make other recommendations to you, that reflect your tastes, pay royalties and prevent or take action against activities that are, or may be, in breach of the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or applicable law.

Third Party Keyboards & Privacy Iphone X

Third Party Keyboards provide an alternative way to input keyboard data. These keyboards can access all of the data you type, including bank account and credit card numbers, street addresses, as well as other personal and sensitive information. These keyboards may also access nearby text or data, which is useful for improving autocorrect functionality.

If you enable Full Access, developers are permitted to access, collect and transmit the data you type. In addition, if the third party application containing the keyboard has your permission to access location, photos, or other personal data, the keyboard can also collect and transmit that information to the keyboard developer’s servers. If you disable Full Access for a third party keyboard, and then re-enable it, the keyboard’s developer may be able to access, collect and transmit what was typed while the network access was disabled.

If you do not enable Full Access, developers are not permitted to collect and transmit the data you type. Any unauthorized collection or transmission of this data without your permission would be a violation of their developer agreement. Furthermore, there are also technical limitations in effect to prevent unauthorized access.  Any attempt to defeat these limitations would also be a violation of their developer agreement.

You may choose to disable a third party keyboard at any time. To do so, open Settings, tap Keyboards, and remove the keyboard from the Keyboard list.

If you use a third party keyboard, you are subject to the keyboard developer’s terms, privacy policy and practices. You should review the terms, privacy policies and practices of such keyboard apps and services to understand how they use your data and other information prior to use.

What is “Do Not Disturb while driving on Iphone X ”?

What is “Do Not Disturb while driving”?

When “Do Not Disturb while driving” is active, it helps you stay focused on the road:

• Text messages are silenced and don’t appear onscreen. By default, iPhone sends an auto-reply, which you can customize. When someone responds to your auto-reply with the message “Urgent,” all subsequent texts from that person come through for the remainder of your drive.

• Notifications are silenced, except for emergency alerts, timers, and alarms.

• Phone calls are allowed only when your iPhone is connected to your car’s Bluetooth system or a hands-free accessory, or you use the Do Not Disturb settings to allow some calls.

• Siri reads replies aloud, so you don’t have to look at your iPhone (the screen stays dark).

Turn on “Do Not Disturb while driving”

If iPhone detects you might have driven a vehicle before you set up “Do Not Disturb while driving,” iPhone asks if you want to turn it on. Otherwise, to set it up, follow these instructions:

Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb > Activate, then choose an option:

• Automatically: “Do Not Disturb while driving” activates when iPhone senses you might be driving. If it becomes active when you’re not driving (if you’re a passenger in a vehicle, for example), tap the Do Not Disturb notification on the Lock screen, then tap I’m Not Driving.

• Manually: You activate “Do Not Disturb while driving” from Control Center. To add the option to Control Center, Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, then tap + next to Do Not Disturb While Driving.

• When Connected to Car Bluetooth: This option activates “Do Not Disturb while driving” when your iPhone is paired using Bluetooth.

If your car supports CarPlay and your iPhone is connected, Do Not Disturb while driving isn’t activated. Instead, CarPlay uses your car’s built-in display to help you stay focused on the road.

Allow some calls

If your car doesn’t have Bluetooth, you can allow some calls to go through.

• Allow a second call from the same person within 3 minutes: Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and turn on Repeated Calls.

• Allow calls from your Favorites or everyone: Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb > Allow Calls From.

Create a custom auto-reply text message

To change the auto-reply message (“I’m driving with Do Not Disturb While Driving turned on. I’ll see your message when I get where I’m going”), go to Settings > Do Not Disturb > Auto-Reply, then tap the message.

By default, your auto-reply is sent to your Favorites. To change who receives the auto-reply or to turn it off, go to Settings > Do Not Disturb > Auto-Reply To, then select a group:

• Recents: Sends an auto-reply to anyone you sent a message to in the previous two days, even if they’re not in your Contacts.

• All Contacts: Sends a message to any of your Contacts.

• No One: Turns off auto-reply.

About Do Not Disturb and privacy

“Do Not Disturb while driving” uses Location Services to help determine if you might be driving or if you’re near your home, work, or a predicted destination. The location data Apple collects for these purposes doesn’t personally identify you. To turn off Location Services for “Do Not Disturb while driving,” go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services, then turn off Location-Based Alerts.

Certificate Trust setting for Iphone X

Blocking Trust for WoSign CA Free SSL Certificate G2

Certificate Authority WoSign experienced multiple control failures in their certificate issuance processes for the WoSign CA Free SSL Certificate G2 intermediate CA. Although no WoSign root is in the list of Apple trusted roots, this intermediate CA used cross-signed certificate relationships with StartCom and Comodo to establish trust on Apple products.

In light of these findings, we took action to protect users in a security update. Apple products no longer trust the WoSign CA Free SSL Certificate G2 intermediate CA.

To avoid disruption to existing WoSign certificate holders and to allow their transition to trusted roots, Apple products trust individual existing certificates that were issued from this intermediate CA and published to public Certificate Transparency log servers by 2016-09-19. They will continue to be trusted until they expire, are revoked, or are untrusted at Apple’s discretion.

As the investigation progresses, we will take further action on WoSign/StartCom trust anchors in Apple products as needed to protect users.

Further steps for WoSign

After further investigation, we have concluded that in addition to multiple control failures in the operation of the WoSign certificate authority (CA), WoSign did not disclose the acquisition of StartCom.

We are taking further actions to protect users in an upcoming security update. Apple products will block certificates from WoSign and StartCom root CAs if the "Not Before" date is on or after 1 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT/UTC.

When you use Emergency SOS On Iphone X

When you use Emergency SOS, your device will attempt to call emergency services. To allow the dispatcher to assist you, this call may include your location, regardless of whether you enable Location Services. Once the call ends, you can choose to notify your emergency contacts with a message that says you have called emergency services. This message also includes your current location. You can manage your emergency contacts by editing your Medical ID in the Health app on iPhone.

For a limited period of time, your device will send updates to your emergency contacts as your location changes. You’ll receive a notification when this happens. When you use Emergency SOS on your Apple Watch you may stop these updates by selecting Stop Sharing in the notification on your Apple Watch. When you use Emergency SOS on your iPhone you may stop these updates by tapping the status bar on your iPhone and selecting Stop Sharing Emergency Location.

If Location Services is disabled, it will be temporarily enabled in order to notify your emergency contacts with your location. If you don’t want to send your location to your emergency contacts, open Settings on your iPhone, tap Privacy, tap Location Services, tap System Services, and turn off Emergency SOS
