iOS Privacy PolicyLocation-Based ServicesTo provide location-based services on Apple products, Apple and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device. Where available, location-based services may use GPS, Bluetooth, and your IP Address, along with crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations, and other technologies to determine your devices’ approximate location. Unless you provide consent, this location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by Apple and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. For example, your device may share its geographic location with application providers when you opt in to their location services. Some location-based services offered by Apple, such as the “Find My iPhone” feature, require your personal information for the feature to work. You may withdraw consent to Apple and its partners’ and licensees’ collection, use, transmission, processing and maintenance of location and account data at any time by not using the location-based features and turning off the Find My iPhone, Find My Friends, or Location Services settings (as applicable) on your device and computer. Translation: We are spying on you using our Crowd-sourced WIFI (i.e. Mac Address Wifi Triangulation) so we can find you within six zucking feet. Of course we are admitting to this after we bought the company WifiSlam so you don't go blame us later. We do care to protect your privacy so we don't want the FBI to have access to your phones. We want to be the only one with your data. |
