at Apple we start with this very simple
premise our customers trust means
everything to us and we spent decades
working to earn that trust
that's what privacy and security are
built into every one of our products and
services from their inception we have
strict policies that govern how all data
is handled our networks and systems are
segmented our hardware and software use
encryption and we have a security
operations team monitoring our
infrastructure 24/7 beyond that we have
a straightforward business model that's
based on selling the best products and
services in the world not on selling
your personal data
we don't sell advertisers any
information from your email content from
your messages or your web browsing
history we don't try to monetize the
information you store on your iPhone or
in iCloud when we ask you for data it's
to provide you with better services and
even then you have a choice you're in
the driver's seat on how much
information you share and when you want
to stop sharing it we set the industry's
highest standards and we are deeply
committed to living up to them
