Apple collects significantly less data than other big tech companies and explicitly commits — using both Nevada and California legal definitions — to never selling or sharing your data for advertising. Their own ad platform doesn't use data brokers or cross-app tracking. Private personal data isn't used to train Apple's AI models. The main caveats are health, fitness, and financial data collection, government ID in some cases, and personalised ads that exist but are easy to turn off.
